In its declaration, Mexico stated that it "seeks to intervene, in order to provide its view on the potential construction of the content of the provisions of the Convention relevant to this case."

It remains uncertain whether the ICJ will accept Mexico's application for intervention.

South Africa requested on May 10 that the International Court of Justice (ICJ) order the withdrawal of Israeli occupation forces from Rafah as part of measures to prevent genocide in Gaza in its ongoing lawsuit against "Israel". 

The published ICJ filings revealed that South Africa asked the court to order "Israel's" complete withdrawal from Rafah, the "last refuge" for Gazans, as well as the allowance of unrestricted access to UN officials, organizations, journalists, investigators, and humanitarian aid into Gaza. 

South Africa reiterated that "Israel" is killing Palestinian civilians while starving them by blocking humanitarian aid deliveries to the Gaza Strip. "Those who have survived so far are facing imminent death now, and an order from the Court is needed to ensure their survival," South Africa said in its filing. 

It is worth noting that the ICJ failed to charge "Israel" with genocide, but imposed a set of anti-genocide measures the occupation blatantly neglected.
