Palestinian Resistance movement Hamas expressed on Monday its appreciation for the lawsuit filed by Nicaragua against Germany in the International Court of Justice ICJ, which demanded Berlin stop military support to the Israeli occupation as the war on Gaza enters its seventh month.

In a statement issued on Monday evening, the movement called on the countries of the world "to follow the lead of Nicaragua, South Africa, and other countries that have refused to turn a blind eye to the crime committed by the Zionist occupation entity in Gaza, with clear support from Western governments."

Hamas also called on the ICJ to issue "firm decisions that would lead to the cessation of the ongoing genocide in Gaza, despite its previous decisions, which the Zionist enemy has disregarded, like all international decisions, agreements, and laws."

The statement came after the court began its first hearing on Monday in the case accusing Germany of "facilitating genocide" against Palestinians during the Israeli war on Gaza.

Nicaragua opened oral arguments regarding its request for "provisional measures" against Berlin in the lawsuit filed on March 1st after presenting the lawsuit consisting of 43 pages. Germany will respond to the accusations before the court on Tuesday.

Nicaragua stated in its lawsuit that Germany "violates the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide, following the Nazi Holocaust."

It affirmed in its request that "Germany facilitates genocide by sending military equipment [to Israel] and stopping its funding of the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees."

The lawsuit also called on the judges of the ICJ to impose "5 provisional measures" to compel Germany to cease all forms of support to the entity, including weapons.

"By sending military equipment and now defunding UNRWA (UN agency for Palestinian refugees)... Germany is facilitating the commission of genocide," it said in its submission.

"Germany is facilitating the commission of genocide and, in any case, has failed in its obligation to do everything possible to prevent the commission of genocide," Nicaragua asserted in a petition issued by the court in The Hague.

"Germany's failure is all the more reprehensible with respect to Israel given that Germany has a self-proclaimed privileged relationship with it, which would enable it to usefully influence its conduct," Nicaragua said.

This comes as the Ministry of Health in Gaza announced today that the number of Palestinians killed by the Israeli occupation in Gaza since October 7 has risen to 33,360, with 75,993 injured. 

The Nicaraguan government had also started in early February proceedings to take the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Canada to the ICJ for their complicity in the genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza by providing the Israeli occupation with the weapons and means to carry out the brutal war.

That interim injunction was issued as the court prepares to hear the main genocide case against "Israel" filed by South Africa last December.
