Spain requests UN court permission to join South Africa's genocide case against Israel in Gaza.

Spain has become the first European country to request a United Nations court's permission to join South Africa's case accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza. South Africa filed its case with the International Court of Justice (ICJ) last year, alleging Israel violated the Genocide Convention through its military operations in Gaza. The ICJ has ordered Israel to halt its military campaign in Rafah, but did not mandate a wider ceasefire. Spain's decision follows similar moves by Mexico, Colombia, Nicaragua, Libya, and the Palestinians.
