Türkiye will file to join the genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice at The Hague, the country’s foreign minister announced on Monday.
“We will submit our prepared file to join the genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice at The Hague on Wednesday,” Hakan Fidan told a news conference alongside his Egyptian counterpart in Cairo.
Fidan added that those who condemn the Russia-Ukraine war are playing “see no evil, hear no evil, speak no evil” in the face of Israeli’s continued occupation of Palestinian lands.
He added that last week Israel killed the “chief negotiator in the Gaza cease-fire talks,” meaning Hamas political chief Ismail Haniyeh, “in a treacherous assassination.”
He also urged “Israel’s owners” to “hold onto its leash,” warning that the region can no longer tolerate Tel Aviv's “provocations,” referring to its attacks in Lebanon and Iran that threaten to spread the war.
Ankara and Cairo have made every effort to prevent the spread of war in the region, the Turkish foreign minister said.
Fidan began his two-day visit to Egypt on Sunday.
