Spain will ask a United Nations court for permission to join South Africa’s case accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza, its foreign minister announced Thursday.
Mexico, Colombia, Nicaragua, Libya and the Palestinians have already requested to join the case currently being heard at the court in The Hague, Netherlands.
The court has ordered Israel to immediately halt its military offensive in the southern Gaza city of Rafah but stopped short of ordering a cease-fire for the enclave. Israel has not complied.
“We take the decision because of the ongoing military operation in Gaza,” Spanish Foreign Minister José Manuel Albares said in Madrid. “We want peace to return to Gaza and the Middle East, and for that to happen we must all support the court.”
Spain, along with Norway and Ireland, officially recognized a Palestinian state last week. On Tuesday, Slovenia also passed a decree in its Parliament recognizing a Palestinian state.

Why am I thinking about leopards (and spots)?
From the people who wiped out half a million Jews during the Inquisition. They still pay a pretty penny to watch bulls suffer and be tortured until they bleed out and die. They build stadiums for that purpose!Yimach Shemam V’Zichram!

מנהג אבותם a repeat of the Inquisition ח”ו
Ah, yes, Spain has always been a champion for world peace, ever since the halcyon days of Ferdinand and Isabella.
They are bloodthirsty barbarians who shed the blood of hundreds of thousands of innocent Jews and millions of victims through the Inquisition and needless wars. To this day these barbarians love watching the torturing tens of thousands of bulls are killed in a torturous way for these barbarians enjoyment.
