Ireland to formally intervene in South Africa's ICJ case against Israel - report

Ireland will formally intervene in South Africa's case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), Irish media outlets reported on Wednesday. 

Ireland previously signaled that it would intervene in the ongoing case, with Irish Foreign Minister Micheal Martin saying in March that it was for the ICJ to decide whether genocide is being committed. 

In January, the ICJ ordered Israel to refrain from any acts that could fall under the Genocide Convention.
