A Greek official stated that on Wednesday, Turkey will request to join South Africa’s murder petition against Israel.
According to the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity, the declaration of action will be presented to the International Court of Justice in The Hague in accordance with rules prohibiting officials from speaking to the media without previous approval.
Turkey, one of the strongest reviewers of Israel’s actions in Gaza, will become the latest country to get to attend in the case.
Osman Tayyip Erdogan, the president of Turkey, has generally compared Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to Adolf Hitler, accused his state of murder, demanded punishment in foreign courts, and criticized European countries for supporting Israel.
In May, Turkey suspended deal with Israel, citing its rape on Gaza. Erdogan has praised Hamas as a liberation activity, in contrast to Western countries that have labeled it a criminal business.
Late last month, South Africa brought a lawsuit against Israel for violating the massacre treaty with its military activities in Gaza to the International Court of Justice.
Israel has firmly refuted claims that the Gaza conflict is a murder and that it was a genuine defense of Hamas militants following their deadly attack on October 7 in southern Israel, which resulted in the hostage-taking of around 1,200 people and 250 hostages.
Nicaragua, Colombia, Libya, Mexico, Spain and Israeli leaders have sought to meet the situation. The judge’s judgement on their calls is still pending.
The nations would be able to submit written arguments and address crowd-sourced sessions if the situation was accepted.
The jury is expected to take years to reach a final decision in the murder case against Israel, despite the fact that initial trials have already been held.
Since Erdogan took office in 2003, the relations between former friends Turkey and Israel have been turbulent, with some serious resistance and peace. The most recent efforts to normalize relations were hampered by the discord in Gaza.
