Cheering Ireland
CrossFireArabia- January 8, 2025
The International Court of Justice announced today that Ireland has filed a declaration of intervention in South Africa’s case against Israel, based on Article 63 of the Statute.
The Court clarified that Ireland invoked its right to intervene under this article, relying on its status as a party to the 1948 Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide.
Last month, Ireland joined South Africa’s genocide lawsuit against Israel.

Irish President Michael D. Higgins makes a special mention of the suffering of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip in the Christmas address Saturday.
He said that Gaza becomes a ” crucible of suffering for children and their families”, condemning the international community silence on what have been happening there.
“The silence of many influential figures in the face of gross human rights violations against civilians grants impunity to those who blatantly impose collective punishments on civilians, including starvation, which, as I speak, particularly affects women and children,” Higgins said.
