Turkiye will submit a declaration of intervention in South Africa’s genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in the Hague, a diplomatic source said, Reuters reports.

The declaration will happen at 1330 GMT, the source added, after Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said this week that Turkiye would make the declaration.

“Turkiye’s intervention pushes the international community to recognise and address the humanitarian crisis in Gaza,” the source said.

In May, Turkiye said it had decided to join the case launched by South Africa as it stepped up measures against Israel over the assault on Gaza, adding that its bid would follow the necessary legal preparations.
