Experts and analysts said that Israel’s habit of not being held accountable made it lose its nerve due to the lawsuit filed against it by South Africa in international justice Court In The Hague, she is afraid that the mere discussion of her crimes will be opened Gaza strip It will expose her and expose her.
On Thursday, the International Court of Justice adjourned its first session after hearing South Africa’s plea against Israel on charges of committing… Genocide against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
According to the lawyer and expert in international law, Dr. Saad Jabbar, Israel is accustomed to not accepting any external censorship or criticism of it, and is accustomed to protection by major powers, in addition to that it has always used the Jewish Holocaust to show that the Jews are the only victims in the world, and therefore it resorts to To what he called the low and uncivilized method of insulting the judges of the International Court of Justice, which was formed in accordance with the Charter of the United Nations, its body is elected by the international community, and its judges are known for their legal competence and professional conscience.
Jabbar pointed out that the Israelis are insulting the International Court of Justice and its body, even though the Convention against Mass Crimes was established and formulated as an embodiment of the Jewish victims during World War II, and that the international community wanted at the time to avoid a repeat of what happened to them.
The Israeli occupation also signed the Convention against Mass Crimes voluntarily, thus accepting the jurisdiction of the court.
Jabbar described what is happening in the Gaza Strip today as “a new Holocaust, which he said is not far from the Holocaust of the Jews, even if the numbers are different.”
The expert added, “Although Israel will attempt in its plea tomorrow, Friday, before the International Court of Justice to evade the facts and irrefutable evidence regarding the crimes it is committing in the Gaza Strip, the court will rule based on what it hears from the defense of both parties.”
Jabbar stressed that South Africa formed a team consisting of the most senior jurists in international law, and that the performance carried out by the defense team today was a coordinated work that relied excellently on legal support and legal interpretations, and on sufficient information to present a solid file regarding this stage of the trial.
Saad Jabbar expected that the International Court of Justice would rule in the first stage in favor of South Africa, because it had committed – as he said – to objectivity and professionalism.
Ingredients for condemning Israel
For his part, the Secretary-General of the Palestinian National Initiative, Dr. Mustafa Barghouthi, described what is happening at the International Court of Justice as “extremely important,” because merely discussing the issue of Israeli crimes in the Gaza Strip would open the door to completely exposing Israel.
Barghouthi added that if the court took a precautionary decision to stop the Israeli aggression against the Palestinian Strip, this would be a major achievement, noting that all the elements are available to condemn and expose the occupation.
Barghouti believed that what was happening was the beginning of the end of what he described as an arrogant regime outside international law and all international norms. He considered that the sweeping Israeli attack on South Africa reflects what he called the low intellectual level of Israeli politicians.
He pointed out that Israel was considered the biggest ally of the apartheid regime in South Africa, and was conducting nuclear tests with it.
Barghouti went on to confirm that Israel – which feels that it is above international law and above accountability thanks to American protection – is being put to the test today, for the second time, after the Palestinians won in 2004 at the International Court of Justice a decision condemning settlements and the modern separation wall, in addition to its concern and fear of the step that… South Africa decided to do so because it felt it had failed and that it might be defeated in the International Court of Justice.
