Refusal to join genocide case against Israel ‘unacceptable’, says Sinn Féin
Taoiseach has ruled out joining the South African case saying he wants to be ‘very careful’ about using the term genocide
The refusal of the Irish government to join South African proceedings accusing Israel of genocide at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) is “unacceptable” and smacks of “double standards”, according to Matt Carthy, Sinn Féin’s Spokesperson on Foreign Affairs.
Carthy was speaking following a press conference organised by the Irish Palestine Solidarity Campaign, where TDs and campaigners called on the Irish government to support and join the case put forward by South Africa at the ICJ.
