CAIRO: The Arab Parliament hailed Spain’s intervention in the case filed by South Africa at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), which accuses Zionist occupation of violating its obligations under the Genocide Prevention Convention in its war on the Gaza Strip. The parliament’s statement said that Spain’s move aims to achieve justice. It also condemned the occupation forces for committing war crimes in the Gaza Strip. The ICJ announced that Spain submitted the declaration of intervention on Friday regarding the genocide allegations in Gaza.

In another development, the visiting Secretary General of the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ), Anthony Bellanger, declared on Sunday that the association would seek to prosecute Zionist entity in front of the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague for fatally targeting Palestinians, namely the journalists. Bellanger said he had been anguished by the killing of Palestinian journalists for nine months, revealing that the association’s death tally for this segment reached 116, which is a record figure for fatalities among the press corps worldwide.

A record of all kinds of (the deadly) targeting that included the Palestinian journalists would be submitted in a libel suit to the ICC by the IFJ and the Palestinian Journalists Association, said Bellanger, addressing a ceremony marking Iraq’s Journalists Day. He called upon all Arab unions to jointly speak up in support of the journalists in the Middle East, namely the Palestinian press corps. Bellanger has added that he has been supporting the Palestinian journalists and their association with financial resources, demanding that Zionists allow correspondents to enter Gaza to cover the massacre happening there. — KUNA
