South Africa submitted a request last week to impose additional measures due to the Israeli attack on Rafah, Palestine. Egypt announced on Sunday its intervention to support South Africa's case before the International Court of Justice (ICJ), which accuses Israel of committing acts of genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. The statement emphasizes that Egypt's intervention comes in response to the escalating severity and scale of Israeli assaults on Palestinians in Gaza. Egypt calls on Israel, as the occupying force, to comply with the provisional measures issued by the ICJ. These measures call for ensuring adequate aid delivery and refraining from any violations against Palestinians by Israeli forces.
