Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan said on Tuesday that Türkiye decided to submit its declaration of official intervention in South Africa's genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

Earlier this month, Fidan announced the decision to join the case launched by South Africa as Ankara stepped up measures against Israel over its assault on Gaza, which has killed more than 35,000 people and was launched after Palestinian group Hamas' attacks on October 7.
