Turkey has announced that it may join the lawsuit at the International Court of Justice filed by South Africa, which accuses Israel of committing genocide in the Gaza Strip.
"I would like to announce for the first time that we have decided to join the case of South Africa against Israel at the International Court of Justice," Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said Wednesday at a joint press conference with his counterpart. Indonesian.
Fidan, as reported by Bloomberg, also said that Turkey has spent time preparing a formal application to join the case.
" We will finish the legal work and then we will deal with what we can do more with the allied countries ," he said.

Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan has called Hamas men "freedom fighters" while repeatedly criticizing Israel's behavior since the October 7, 2013 attacks by Hamas.
