UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron has expressed disagreement with South Africa’s move to bring a case against “Israel” at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) over the genocide in Gaza.
Despite his earlier concerns about potential breaches of international humanitarian law by “Israel” in Gaza, UK Foreign Secretary David Cameron stated, on Sunday, that the International Court of Justice (ICJ) should not subject “Israel” to accountability in the case raised by South Africa.
Cameron, responding to a question on Sky News, shared his view on whether he backed South Africa’s assertion that “Israel” should face charges in the ICJ saying, “No, I absolutely do not [think that Israel should be held accountable] … I think the South African action is wrong, it’s unhelpful, it shouldn’t be happening.”
This comes as the Israeli genocide against Palestinians in Gaza enters its 100th day, killing 23,968 Palestinians, most of whom are women and children.
The UK Foreign Secretary also recently attempted to evade a question posed by Parliament’s Foreign Affairs committee chair, Alicia Kearns, and refrained from confirming whether he had reviewed any legal advice from the Foreign Office indicating that “Israel” is in violation of international humanitarian law in Gaza.
However, during his appearance before the Foreign Affairs Committee in Parliament earlier this month, the former prime minister acknowledged that certain aspects of the Israeli aggression on Gaza had raised deep concerns for him.
“Am I worried that Israel has taken action that might be in breach of international law, because this particular premises has been bombed or whatever?” he said at the time.
“Yes, of course I’m worried about that.”
