Moscow accused Israel of engaging in “collective punishment” against Arabs in Gaza, justifying the genocide charges brought by South Africa against the Jewish state at the International Court of Justice.
In a statement released Sunday, Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova castigated the German government for backing Israel and rejecting South Africa’s allegations of genocide, accusing Berlin of having a pro-Israel bias.
“We were not surprised by the German Government’s decision to oppose the Republic of South Africa which has filed a case with the International Court of Justice accusing Israel of subjecting people in Gaza to genocide,” Zakharova said.
“This move was predicated on the unfettered support Berlin has always lent to Israel while dismissing any possible consequences. Germany has been asserting its unwavering commitment to this policy for quite a long time as one of the main unspoken tenets of the so-called rules-based order as defined by Washington.”
She went on to accuse Israel of “collective punishment of Palestinians in Gaza,” and condemning Germany’s “flawed approach” of rejecting South Africa’s genocide charges.
