Former U.K. opposition leader Jeremy Corbyn will join a South African delegation for this week's hearings at the International Court of Justice, where the country accuses Israel of committing genocide against Palestinians in the war in Gaza, the South African government said Tuesday….
South Africa's Justice Ministry said Corbyn was one of a number of "senior political figures from progressive political parties and movements across the globe" who will join the South African delegation at the Hague in the Netherlands for two days of preliminary hearings which begin on Thursday.
Corbyn was the only one of those foreign political figures in its delegation named by the South African government….
Corbyn expressed support for South Africa's case against Israel on Monday and criticized the British government in a message posted on X, formerly Twitter.
Just last week South African president President Cyril Ramaphosa was shaking the hand of Janjaweed leader Mohamed Hamdan "Hemedti" Dagalo:
Now there's a modern-day genocide, in Sudan, but it's unlikely Jeremy – or Cyril – will be showing any concern.
