The European President of the League of Parliamentarians for al-Quds and Palestine, Michele Piras, has expressed his appreciation for the historic decision made by the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague, which has brought Israel to face official charges of genocide for the tragic massacre in Gaza. This groundbreaking ruling marks a significant moment in history, as it is the first time Israel has been held accountable at this level. Piras, known for his advocacy of preventing acts of genocide and ensuring aid and protection for civilian populations, warmly welcomes this decision.

The timing of the ICJ judgment holds particular significance, as it coincides with the international memorial of the Shoah. Michele Piras views this as a deeply meaningful moment, where the world acknowledges the atrocities committed and demands justice for the victims. He emphasizes the crucial role played by the Republic of South Africa in achieving this historic result, which leaves no room for stammering, silence, or indifference from the international community, democratic nations, and individuals' consciences.

Piras calls for a collective expression of gratitude towards the Republic of South Africa, recognizing their instrumental role in bringing this case to the forefront. With this landmark decision, the international community must no longer shy away from addressing the grave charges Israel now faces. Michele Piras urges all democratic countries and conscientious individuals to stand united and take decisive action.

The European President of the League believes that the time has come to fully acknowledge the atrocities and crimes committed by the Netanyahu government. Piras advocates for reopening a peace reasoning process that centers around the Palestinian question, focusing on the principles of full rights, justice, independence, and truth. He emphasizes the urgent need to hold the perpetrators accountable and work towards a just and lasting resolution for the Palestinian people.
