JAKARTA - The Palestinian warrior group, Hamas, called the US rejection of a lawsuit against alleged genocide by Israel at the International Court (ICJ) indicating insult to international law.
Hamas said US Secretary of State Antony Blinken's statement regarding the lawsuit filed by Africa Israel for the ICJ to investigate genocide crimes in the Gaza Strip was a waiver of international law and America's efforts to obstruct international judicial institutions from carrying out its role.
Hamas asked the US to stop its policy, which would prolong aggression and genocide in Gaza, reported by Anadolu, Wednesday, January 10.
On Tuesday (9/1), the US said that the genocide case brought by South Africa to the Court was inappropriate and disturbing.
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said the lawsuit caught the world's attention from peace and security efforts.
South Africa filed a lawsuit on December 29, 2023, claiming that Israel violated the 1948 United Nations Convention on the Prevention and Sentencing of genocide crimes, with its actions in Gaza since October 7, 2023.
