South Africa’s foreign minister said Türkiye has provided clear and consistent support for Pretoria’s genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), highlighting growing coordination between the two countries over the legal proceedings.
Speaking to Anadolu Agency (AA) on the sidelines of the Southern African Development Community (SADC) Foreign Ministers Meeting in Kruger National Park, South African Minister of International Relations and Cooperation Ronald Lamola said Ankara remained closely engaged in the case.
“We continue to work closely with Türkiye,” Lamola said. “Türkiye has made its support for the case very clear.”
Lamola said South Africa, which chairs the Hague Group, a coalition aimed at safeguarding international law, has received support from numerous countries backing its legal challenge against Israel.
“Many countries, including Türkiye, have joined South Africa in the case,” he said.
