    Partners in Crime

    Since the attacks of 7 October, the EU has provided political cover and material support for Israel. This has continued through almost eight months of unrelenting bombardment with almost 40,000 people killed, the forced displacement of 2.3 million people, the fastest descent into starvation of an entire population ever recorded and the total destruction of Gaza’s civilian infrastructure including homes, hospitals, schools and universities, places of worship and bakeries. This support continued as Israel was placed on trial for genocide at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague and as the International Criminal Court (ICC) announced that it would seek arrest warrants for Israel’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu and defence minister Yoav Gallant. Were the EU to have applied pressure in October by imposing sanctions, an arms embargo and prohibiting the transit of US military equipment through Europe, Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza may have been curtailed. The EU chose not to act then, and it continues to fail in its legal and moral duty to act now. This political cover and material support, particularly in light of the ICJ’s interim ruling which put all states on notice of a plausible case of genocide, makes the EU directly complicit in it.

  • States must act now to stop Israel's genocidal war on Gaza

    Middle East and North Africa

    On 26 January, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) delivered its ruling on the request for provisional measures in the case of South Africa v. Israel. Hundreds of people gathered outside the courthouse in the Hague to watch the proceedings live, while millions tuned in online from around the world. In the weeks since the  momentous court ruling Israel has forged ahead with plans for a  full-scale ground invasion of Rafah, Gaza’s most southern city, where 1.5 million people are desperately seeking shelter. States must urgently take all actions within their power to force the implementation of this ruling. A Dutch court order that bans the export of fighter jet components is an important step in this regard. Other states must immediately take similar actions to stop the genocide.

  • No More Business as Usual Our observations from the Hague as South Africa takes Israel to the International Court of Justice

    Middle East and North Africa

    Almost 100 days in to Israel’s genocidal war on Palestine, the International Court of Justice (ICJ) convened in the Hague on 11 and 12 January following proceedings brought by the Republic of South Africa against the State of Israel under the 1948 Genocide Convention. The Convention, which places a legal duty on signatories to prevent genocide, has been ratified by both states, giving the Court jurisdiction in the matter.
