Ireland to intervene in case against Israel before the end of 2024, says Tánaiste

Micheal Martin: 'We are also committed to supporting and promoting a strict interpretation of the Genocide Convention to ensure the highest level of protection possible for civilians caught up in situations of armed conflict, and to apply the highest standards of conduct on those engaged in conflict.'

Ireland’s declaration of intervention in the International Court of Justice case against Israel will be made before the end of the year, the Tánaiste has confirmed.

South Africa has taken a case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) accusing it of a genocide in Gaza with Ireland indicating that it would intervene in the case in March.
