Syria with South Africa's lawsuit against Israel before the International Court of Justice

The Syrian Ministry of Foreign Affairs said in a statement that this important measure highlights the large number of Palestinian civilian victims, especially children, and the importance of holding “Israel” accountable for its crimes against the Palestinian people for 75 years.

He criticized the statements of representatives of the American administration in this regard, and considered that they appointed themselves lawyers for the Israeli occupation authorities, who show contempt for international law and indifference to brutal massacres, war crimes, and crimes against humanity.

The text stated that the efforts made by American officials to ensure Israel's impunity are abhorrent and condemnable.

The Strategic Communications Coordinator for the US National Security Council, John Kirby, confirmed in a press conference that there is no legal justification for South Africa to accuse Israel before the International Court of Justice of committing acts of genocide in the Gaza Strip. against the civilian population.
