Commenting on Germany's support for "Israel" against South Africa's case in the ICJ, Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said Moscow is not surprised to see that Berlin is defending "Israel" in a genocide case.

Zakharova lashed out at Berlin, saying it has established itself as an expert in the mass extermination of people, highlighting the consistency between Berlin's Nazi past and the Zionist present.

Zakharova also pointed out that such a stance is natural for Germany, as unconditional support for the Israeli occupation is a pre-requisite for partaking in Washington's "rules-based international order" club.

What to do with the crimes against humanity committed by Germany against other peoples and nationalities during the Second World War?” she asked.

"History knows many examples when criminals who committed serious offenses took the path of correction, using their knowledge of illegal experience, they helped prevent similar atrocities,” Zakharova noted, adding "But this was always possible only in the presence of active repentance and unconditional recognition of one’s own guilt without the slight hint of attempts to justify one’s own crimes, much less repeat them."

'Israel' seeks ethnic cleansing under US cover, Russia says

Earlier this month, the Russian representative to the United Nations, Vassily Nebenzia, attacked Western members of the United Nations Security Council, accusing them of "wasting the council's time in sessions far from what is happening in the Middle East, especially Gaza."

Nebenzia, speaking in an open debate, stated that "Israel" was seeking the "ethnically cleanse the Palestinian people in Gaza with American cover from top to bottom."

The Israeli occupation has been facing accusations of genocide and ethnic cleansing ever since the start of its brutal bombing campaigns and subsequent invasion of Gaza, with numerous international figures condemning its actions as such.
