Belgium has officially joined South Africa’s case at the International Court of Justice over Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza, becoming the latest country to support the legal challenge alongside Brazil, Ireland, and others.

South Africa filed the case in December 2023, as Israel violated the 1948 UN Genocide Convention.

Belgium’s move reinforces international pressure as nearly 80 percent of UN member states now recognize Palestinian statehood.
