On Saturday evening, the President of Namibia, Haji Geingob, appealed to the German government to reconsider its decision, which he described as “unsuccessful,” to intervene as a third party to defend and support the acts of genocide committed by “Israel” in the Gaza Strip, before the International Court of Justice.

Geingob issued a statement in which he rejected Germany's intention to support "Israel" in refusing to commit genocide in the Gaza Strip.

He stressed that Germany committed the first genocide in the twentieth century on the soil of Namibia in the period from 1904 to 1908, where tens of thousands of innocent Namibians died in the most brutal and horrific conditions.

He added: "The German government is still failing to fully atone for the genocide it committed on the soil of Namibia."

Geingob expressed his deep concern about the decision announced by the government of the Federal Republic of Germany to reject the moral rebuke presented by South Africa before the International Court of Justice that “Israel” is committing the crime of genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza, and described the decision as “horrific.”

Geingob stated in his statement: “Worryingly, the German government ignored the deaths of more than 23,000 Palestinians in Gaza and the horrific United Nations reports that highlighted the internal displacement of 85% of civilians in Gaza amid a severe shortage of food and basic services. The German government chose to defend in the International Court "The government of Israel's heinous acts of genocide against innocent civilians in Gaza and the occupied Palestinian territories."

President Gegeube noted that Germany could not morally express its commitment to the UN Convention on the Prevention of Genocide, including atonement for the genocide in Namibia, while supporting the equivalent of the Holocaust and extermination in Gaza.

He pointed out that various international organizations, such as Human Rights Watch, have horrifyingly concluded that “Israel” is committing war crimes in Gaza.

He stressed that Namibia rejects Germany's support for racist "Israel" in the case of genocide practiced against innocent civilians in Gaza.

President Geingob also reiterated his call, made on December 31, 2023, that no person who loves peace can ignore the massacre launched by “Israel” against the Palestinians in Gaza.
