Egypt to back genocide case against Israel at world court
Egypt announced on Sunday it would back South Africa's genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice, in a sign of Cairo's frustration over an Israeli military operation in Gaza's southern city of Rafah that borders Egypt.
The Egyptian Foreign Ministry said in a statement that the move comes "in view of aggravating intensity and scale" of Israeli attacks against civilians in Gaza and the "continued perpetration of systematic practices" against Palestinians, including direct targeting of civilians and destruction of infrastructure.
