Chilean President Gabriel Boric says his country is joining South Africa in its case at the International Court of Justice accusing Israel of genocide in the war against Hamas in Gaza.
Speaking to the National Congress, Boric decries the “catastrophic humanitarian situation” in Gaza and calls for “a firm response from the international community.”
“Chile will become a party to and support the case that South Africa presented against Israel before the International Court of Justice in The Hague,” Boric says.
The ICJ is considering South Africa’s case, but in the interim has brought in “preliminary measures” ordering Israel do everything it can to prevent acts of genocide during its military campaign against Hamas.
Chile has recognized Palestine as a state since 2011, and Boric has previously said the war in Gaza has “no justification” and is “unacceptable.”
