Like Colombia, Turkey and Nicaragua in the past, Egypt and Libya have asked the International Court of Justice to accede to the complaint of genocide against Israel. Especially significant is the case of Egypt, bordering on Israel. On the one hand, because since 1979 it has had a peace agreement signed with the Zionist State and, on the other, it has been a major intermediary in the high-risk negotiations between Hamas and the Zionists in recent months.

Egypt was the first Arab country to recognize the state of Israel in the Camp David agreements. Former Director of the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, Alon Liel, told Al Jazeera that the agreement was the basis and the starting point for all the relations that Israel has normalized below, such as Jordan, the United Arab Emirates or Morocco. That is why former diplomat Liel pointed out that Egypt’s decision has been an “incredible blow” to Israel.

Egypt is the only country bordering Gaza, in addition to the Zionist State. Of particular importance has been the passage between Gaza and Egypt, through which the scant humanitarian aid that Israel has allowed to pass has entered. But the fact that the Zionists have taken over the operational control of the border crossing has further undermined the relationship between Israel and Egypt, which has breached international agreements and long-standing agreements. The Egyptian Government has also threatened in the last week to cancel the Camp David agreement if the Zionists do not suspend the Rafah massacre and do not “diligently resume” the negotiations.

Request for interim measures before the International Court of Justice

South Africa urgently requests the International Court of Justice to take additional interim measures against Israel in the framework of the ongoing genocial complaint. South Africa wants the Hearing to instruct the Zionists to withdraw from Rafah in his request for the latest attacks. When the trial began, the NJA refused to give this mandate and only asked Israel to avoid any action that could be included in the agreement against genocide. Now, the court will have to decide whether to provisionally order the departure of Rafah to the Zionist State.
