The International Court of Justice announced, on Friday, February 9, 2024, that 52 countries, including Turkey, and 3 international organizations will express their opinions during hearings on the legal consequences of Israeli practices in the occupied Palestinian territories.

According to a statement published by the court, it will hold public hearings during the period between 19 and 26 February, regarding the legal consequences of Israeli practices in the occupied Palestinian territories, including East Jerusalem.

In this regard, 52 countries, including Turkey, in addition to the League of Arab States, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation and the African Union, will deliver oral statements, each lasting thirty minutes.

Turkey is scheduled to deliver its statement within the framework of the sessions at 09:00 GMT on Monday, February 26.

It is noteworthy that the sessions begin with the Palestine statement on February 19, and end with the Maldives statement on February 26.

On January 26, the International Court of Justice announced its preliminary decisions in the case brought by South Africa under the 1948 Genocide Convention.

Despite International Justice resolutions calling for an end to the attacks against the Palestinians, Israel is still continuing its attacks on the Gaza Strip, and is shying away from taking steps to end the human tragedy.

Earlier Friday, the Ministry of Health in Gaza announced that the death toll from the war on the Strip, after which Israel is being tried on charges of genocide, had risen to “27,947 killed and 67,459 injured since last October 7.”

The Ministry reported, in a statement, that “the toll of the Israeli aggression has risen to 27,947 killed and 67,459 injured since October 7.”

It also added: "The Israeli army committed 13 massacres against families in the Gaza Strip, claiming 107 killed and 142 injuries during the past 24 hours."

The Ministry also stated that “there are still a number of victims under the rubble and on the roads, and the Israeli army is preventing ambulance and civil defense crews from reaching them.”

This comes as the Israeli war on Gaza enters its fifth month, and most of its victims are children and women, according to the Palestinian authorities, and it has also caused “massive destruction and an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe,” according to the United Nations.
