- Colombia has requested permission from the International Court of Justice to intervene in South Africa’s case against Israel for genocide in Gaza, aiming to protect Palestinian safety and existence.
- The ICJ has ordered Israel to ensure timely food supplies to Gaza and previously instructed Israel to refrain from actions under the genocide convention and to prevent genocidal acts against Palestinians, which Israel denies, attributing its actions to targeting Hamas rather than civilians.

I would imagine they’d be seen as incredibly biased since they all hate the shit out of Israel and many of them aren’t exactly democratic.
When you have South Africa, Ireland and now Colombia stepping up to the plate it brings more weight IMO.
Plus South Africa and Ireland have a special bond with Palestine due to their own past as victims of especially awful colonialist atrocities. They get what Gaza is going through better than most other countries that anyone in the West will listen to.
These are also all countries that have experiences with human rights abuses.
Saudi is a US alley.
Egypt is under a dictatorship after the military removed the elected official. Egypt hasn’t been the same since France tricked them by pretending to be allies.
Turkey is like two bad moves from being nuked by either US or Russia (Russia falling would seriously relieve a ton of pressure off Turkey and Syria).
Libya still has no government.
Iraq is run by rapist opioid lords set up by Bush II.
Syria is occupied by Russia, Israel, a crappy dictator, and ISIS.
I’m honestly not sure why Lebanon seems to be going bad.
Saudi, US, and Israel have been doing Gaza tactics in Yemen for a long time. They still are the only country helping Palestine. Israel is actually running out of cars which is ironic as they blew up so many Palestinian cars about 12 months ago.
