On 14 July 2025, it was announced that Brazil would join South Africa's genocide case against Israel at the ICJ.	[12] [13]

International organizations

In February 2024 the then-African Union Commission Chairperson Moussa Faki said: "Gaza is being completely annihilated and its people are deprived of all their rights. We denounce the Israeli operation, which has no parallel in the history of humanity." ^[97] The official communiqué of the 38th summit of the African Union stated that "Israel is committing genocide against the Palestinians and must be prosecuted internationally." ^[98]

In May 2025, after his retirement as an EU diplomat, Josep Borrell spoke out against Israel's actions:

We're facing the largest ethnic cleansing operation since the end of the second world war in order to create a splendid holiday destination once all the millions of tonnes of rubble have been cleared from Gaza and the Palestinians have died or gone away.

Borrell also explicitly accused Israel of genocidal intent:

We all know what's going on there, and we've all heard the objectives stated by Netanyahu's ministers, which are clear declarations of genocidal intent. Seldom have I heard the leader of a state so clearly outline a plan that fits the legal definition of genocide. ^[99]

On 26 March, Pakistan's OIC representative said that Israel's desire for a "final solution to the Palestinian question is plain for all to see, as its forces encircle Rafah like vultures and its ravenous land grab continues unabated". ^[100] In May 2024, the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation called on member states to end "the export of weapons and ammunition used by its army to perpetrate the crime of genocide in Gaza". ^[101]

On 16 August 2025, 31 Arab and Islamic countries and the Arab League released a joint statement condemning "Israel's crimes of aggression, genocide, and ethnic cleansing" in Gaza, and highlighted the need to ensure access to humanitarian aid to "halt the systematic starvation policy used by Israel as a weapon of genocide." ^[102] A month later, the European Parliament passed a resolution on the Gaza war, which in its initial form mentioned "genocidal actions" from Israel, but this was ultimately omitted. ^{[103] [104]}

Notes

1. Foreign minister of the relevant country, in a joint statement of 31 Arab and Islamic countries, "reiterate[d] their rejection and condemnation of the crimes of Israeli aggression, genocide, and ethnic cleansing" in August 2025. ^[4]
