Iran supports S. Africa genocide case against Israeli regime

Permanent Mission of the Islamic Republic of Iran to the United Nations office in Genevas in a message on X media platform wrote that 'Iran welcomes and supports South Africa’s initiative to bring the atrocities of the Israeli #apartheid regime in Palestine under GenocideConvention to ICJ."

"Int'l. community should support South Africa's efforts to hold perpetrators of the crimes to account", the message adds.

South Africa filed a case against Israel at the ICJ in November, accusing the regime of crimes of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza as part of a relentless bombardment which has killed more than 23,000 people and caused widespread destruction in the besieged enclave.
