Belgium has announced that it will fully support the case brought by South Africa, which accuses Israel of committing "genocide", if the International Court of Justice decides to stop the attacks on Gaza.

Minister of Development Cooperation Caroline Jenes said on her account on the “X” platform: “Belgium reaffirms its full support for the case before the International Court of Justice. If the court asks Israel to stop its military operation against Gaza, our country will fully support it.”

The Belgian minister said: “Our country bears its responsibility towards human rights and humanitarian law.”

Jennies pledged to remain committed to achieving the goal of ensuring the full delivery of humanitarian aid to Gaza as soon as possible, at all levels.

She also stressed that her country will continue to strive, within the European Union and at the international level, for a permanent ceasefire, full access to humanitarian aid, the release of prisoners, compliance with international law and the two-state solution.

Israel is facing a “genocide” case filed by South Africa before the International Court of Justice in The Hague on December 29, due to its actions in Gaza, which the United Nations described as a violation of international laws. However, Tel Aviv denies these accusations, claiming that it is only trying to Protecting its people.
