Berlin has declared itself an expert in mass extermination of people by making the move, Russia’s Foreign Ministry spokeswoman says
Russia is not surprised that Germany has decided to defend Israel in a genocide case in the International Court of Justice (ICJ), as unconditional support for the Jewish state is obligatory in Washington’s ‘rules-based international order,’ Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova has said.
In late December, South Africa brought proceedings against Israel at the ICJ, alleging it had breached the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide in its aerial and ground bombardment of Gaza in response to the Hamas cross-border attack on October 7.
It also asked the court in The Hague to order Israel to “immediately suspend its military operations in and against Gaza.”
