Chile is the latest in a growing list of countries that have joined South Africa in their case against Israel for genocide in the International Court of Justice (ICJ).
President Gabriel Boric announced his country’s intention to join the case during a speech, accusing the Israeli Defense Force (IDF) of using “indiscriminate and disproportional” force.
“These acts demand a firm and permanent response of the international community,” he added.
South Africa brought the case against Israel last year, accusing Israel of committing genocide against the Palestinian people in Gaza, a charge that Israel denied. Chile is the latest in a growing list of countries that have joined the case. Earlier this week, Mexico announced that it would support South Africa. Nicaragua, Colombia, Libya, Maldives, Namibia, Venezuela, Egypt, Bolivia, Turkiye, Ireland, Belgium, Indonesia and the Organization of Islamic Countries which has 57 members, have all either formally joined the case, announced their intention to, or expressed support for it.
Germany is the only country that has said it will intervene on behalf of Israel and The United States declared its opposition to it.
