Egypt’s ICJ decision a ‘blow to ties’ with Israel: Analyst

- Egypt's government has announced it will support the case South Africa filed at the International Court of Justice, accusing Israel of genocide.
Dalia Fahmy, associate professor of political science at Long Island University, says Egypt’s decision to join South Africa’s genocide case against Israel marks an “unprecedented moment in the modern-day history” between the two countries.
“Egypt has been the most important mediator in the region, the first Arab nation to recognise and formalise ties with Israel in 1979. And here is the symbolic moment, where the Egyptian government puts its foot down. The first is a humanitarian one, where the Ministry of Foreign Affairs says the [Israeli] intervention currently comes in increasing severity. And that Israel’s actions in Gaza leading to the death of almost 40,000 individuals violates international humanitarian law and the fourth Geneva Convention,” she told Al Jazeera.
“This moment has deeper implications at the political level, because Israel has not proved itself in the eyes of Egypt as a good faith negotiator. It didn’t sign on to the ceasefire agreement even though it had said it would. Also for months, Egyptian officials have stated that Israeli invasion of Rafah would risk peace ties between the two countries. It’s more than the ICJ ruling, it’s also a blow to the ties between the two countries, because Israel … has actually seized the border and they have taken tactical provisional authority over the border.”

Opposing genocide shouldn’t be controversial.
Egyptians are puppets of US though. So, this is surprising.
When the world becomes run by organized crime, the truth is a threat to national security and world dominance.
I do not buy Egypt's lip service and symbolic gesture. All Arab countries are too scared to take action against Israeli atrocity and madness.

Go to school and one day you will be smart enough to realize that when a population triples there is no genocide.

Shame to the western regimes for not upholding the international order!
The world agrees - Pstinians have brought it upon themselves. no ceasefire, no evacuation!
@@Michaelxx2inare you the worlds spokesperson? I think that it is quite clear that Israeli support dwindles daily.
Israel's 50+ years of committing mass war crimes brought this about. Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention states: “The Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies.” Israel (Occupying power) has sent 700,000 Illegal settlers (transfer parts of its own civilian population) into East Jerusalem and the West Bank ( into the territory it occupies). These are war crimes.

Iran can't do anything at the moment, but surely they must be on standby in case anything lands in Iran or any important Iranian affiliate gets topped off
It's all lip service for the domestic outrage of their citizens. Egypt is a fail state close to bankruptcy who needs to be bailed out financially, and who controls the World Bank, their neighbor. Turkey is in financial straits too and is business partner with Is-ra-3l and EU. Jordan is dependent on the joos money, the king and family lives in luxury in Europe. Arabia couldn't care less, they just don't want the oil business to be interrupted. It is a very dark situation. Pray for peace, like thousands are going to do tonight 13 of May, to ask the white shining Lady of Fatima, Lady of Peace, to interceed for peace, doesn't hurt and may help.

Do people that want to commit genocide, feed and warn the people they supposedly want to eliminate to get out of the city before they enter a city, so they don’t get caught in the fighting.
Did Hitler warn the Jews before he was coming ?
Yep. They need to flex their muscles even if it may cost them so temporary slowing of the great wealth they've been gleaning.
Those Arab countries don’t support the Islamic state. That’s why they do nothing.
Well done Egypt. Every country in the world should join in.

That would be the US weapons manufacturers! Haha. Do you really think money ever does not buy justice? Especially in the US.
And they are many!

Protect the civilians !
Where were you last 80 years to say that in support of Israeli population which been targeted by indiscriminate attacks?
Do you really mean what you write or is it substitute to: "stop destroying Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad" groups?
Do you speak in order to help Armenians who faced actual genocide. Which resulted in ~20% of Turkish population to have Armenian great grandmother, but Turkish great grandfather? (Who btw raped her as they were killing all those boys and men.) They took even little girls which suffered that fate later.
How much did you speak for Kurds? 30 millions of them and their land is not their own, no country to their name.
agree
World needs to wake up and take immediate action against the horrors of this ongoing genocide.
The World has woken up. Globally, ordinary people like you and me are doing everything we're able to, to have our voices heard in protest. The political and 1% who are benefitting from this horrific genocide continue enabling this diabolical evil occupying entity called israel. It is not anger that we feel, it is an incandescent rage and helplessness with an underlying sorrow for our Palestinian family.
USA as always is the leading power for genocide!

Dalia ,well said!
Why don't Egypt take action on its own against israil.
because the yoos have weapons from usakistan.....and egypt doesnt have a very strong offensive capability. their military is mostly defensive.
Egypt doesn't care and only used her army to keep Gazans out.
Dear Egypt,
Lower migration fees from $5,000 to $100. That's more meaningful than a piece of paper.
Right now, no one can get out, including foreign aid workers and nothing can get in at all. The IDF took that border and is in complete control of it. No food aid has been allowed to enter since Sunday. Even seriously injured children that were approved to be transferred out of Gaza for medical care, haven't been allowed to.
If Egypt does this Israel wins because all Palestinians in rafah will enter Sinai and there will be no hope for a future Palestinian state
Is this why Egypt wouldn't let the Palestinians in?
Excellent 👍
Took their time, mind they had to build their wall to stop the Palestinians fleeing south....
😢"Rules-based international order". Why not simply say"international law"?
Finally. Lets hope the other arab countries follow suit.
Thanks for update report about Middle East.
Egypt has to support the will of his own people 🙄 .
That's why Egypt hasn't accept any Palestinian refugee.
Do not equate Israel with Nazis. Israel can teach the Nazis a few more things on Genocide.
Egypt is doing the right thing. Continue the pressure. Camp David agreement does not mean a thing to Israel or the US. Just do whatever can end the war.

Why? Israel literally sent people to South Africa to keep the Apartheid going. Sounds like the spade is a spade.

WHERE ARE THE OTHER COUNTRIES/ NATIONS in their unilateral support?
Long Live Palestine 🇵🇸
This happened a long time before Hamas existed:
During the Nakba in 1948, approximately half of Palestine's predominantly Arab population, or around 750,000 people, were expelled from their homes or made to flee, at first by Zionist paramilitaries through various violent means, and after the establishment of the State of Israel, by the Israel Defense Forces. This occurred in the wake of dozens of massacres targeting Palestinian Arabs and the depopulation of 500 Arab-majority towns and villages, with many of these being either completely destroyed or repopulated by Jews and given new Hebrew names. By the end of the war, 78% of the total land area of the former Mandatory Palestine was controlled by Israel and at least 15,000 Palestinian Arabs had been killed.
This is where it started. Followed by many more massacres by the Israeli Army. So every time Palestine has fighted back, it was fighting for freedm and its own land which was stolen by israel. And now Israel is doing what it had always been doing just on a larger scale killing more than 15000 Children and in total more than 35000 people. Israel is a disgrace for humanity and must be stopped immediatly.
