Saudi Arabia has welcomed the decision of the International Court of Justice regarding the Israeli war on Gaza and called on the international community to hold Israel accountable for its violations of international law.
In a statement, the Saudi Ministry of Foreign Affairs also urged taking “further actions” to achieve a ceasefire in Gaza and provide protection for the Palestinian people.
The Ministry affirmed its “support for the International Court of Justice’s decision,” while strongly rejecting “the practices of the Israeli occupation and violations of the United Nations Convention on Genocide.”
Saudi Arabia praised “the efforts of South Africa in filing a lawsuit against the ongoing violations of the Israeli occupation in the Gaza Strip.”
The Ministry emphasized “the importance of the international community taking additional measures to halt the ceasefire violations in Gaza, provide protection for the Palestinian people, and hold the Israeli occupying forces accountable for all their systematic violations of international law and humanitarian law.”
On Friday, the International Court of Justice called on Israel to take all measures to prevent “genocide” in Gaza. During the session dedicated to interim measures regarding South Africa’s lawsuit against Israel for genocide, the Court emphasized that Israel’s request to dismiss the lawsuit brought by South Africa cannot be accepted.
