The Maldives, Namibia, and Pakistan announced their support for South Africa's lawsuit against "Israel" during a UN General Assembly session on Tuesday.

Pakistan's support was evident when announcing that Islamabad welcomed South Africa's initiative to bring the occupation's crimes under the UN's Genocide Convention to the ICJ.

In parallel, Neville Gertze, the permanent representative of Nambia to the UN, stated that his country welcomes and supports South Africa's initiative and that "Nambia both identifies and aligns with the arguments put forward by South Africa."

Bolivia, Jordan, Malaysia, Venezuela, and Turkey have also expressed their support for the case.

The hearings will be held to consider provisional measures in the ICJ on Thursday and Friday this week. 

How it started

At the end of December, South Africa filed a lawsuit against "Israel"Ùˆ in which it stated the occupation's inhumane actions since October 7 as "genocidal in character because they are intended to bring about the destruction of a substantial part of the Palestinian national, racial and  ethnic group." 

It stated that those actions were clearly in breach of the UN's Genocide Convention, leading the court to "order 'Israel' to cease killing and causing serious mental and bodily harm to Palestinian people in Gaza." 

On December 29, "Israel" rejected South Africa's launch of a genocide case against it at the International Court of Justice. Despite the sea of war crime evidence, the occupation labeled the case as groundless blood libel lacking legal merit and asserted that its army was adhering to international humanitarian law.
