In the Moroccan capital Rabat, human rights activists held a sit-in at the headquarters of the Moroccan Association for Human Rights (the largest human rights association in the country), making statements in support of Palestine and hoping for justice in the “genocide” case against Israel.
In a statement issued after the demonstration, the Moroccan Association for Human Rights praised South Africa’s move to file a case in the Court of Justice against Israel’s genocidal war against the Palestinian people.
The sit-in by human rights activists in Morocco at the association’s headquarters aims to support South Africa’s humanitarian and courageous initiative, the statement said.
– SOUTH AFRICA’S “GENOCIDE” CASE AGAINST ISRAEL
The hearing on the request for injunctive relief in the case filed by South Africa at the International Court of Justice on the grounds that Israel violated the Genocide Convention with its actions in Gaza was held in The Hague.
On the first day of the hearing, the South African side presented its accusations against Israel to the Court with reasons and evidence.
Lawyers representing the South African side charged that Israel’s “deliberate actions against Gazans prove its genocidal intent”.
The first day of the hearing ended after the South African Ambassador to Amsterdam, Vusimuzi Madonsela, read out the 9 interim measures that his country had requested from the Court against Israel.
At today’s (Friday) hearing, the Israeli delegation will present its defense.
