Israel’s Maariv newspaper reported that Indonesia has filed a new lawsuit against the Israeli occupation at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague.
In doing so, Indonesia joins South Africa, which filed the first lawsuit against Israel for committing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza.
The Indonesian Foreign Ministry had previously assembled a team of experts to help draft Indonesia’s ICJ case to hold Israel accountable for its policies and practices in the occupied Palestinian territories.
According to the local Jakarta Post website, Foreign Minister Retno Marsudi said that the case will help support global order based on international law, as well as support the Palestinians.
Marsudi’s statement was made ahead of a meeting of dozens of international law experts and academics in the capital, Jakarta.
Last week, the ICJ held two public hearings as part of the start of looking into the lawsuit filed by South Africa against Israel on charges of committing crimes of genocide against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip.
On 29 December, South Africa filed a lawsuit before the ICJ, accusing Israel of committing crimes amounting to genocide in the Gaza Strip, which has been subjected to a fierce war for more than three months.
For his part, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu asserted, nobody will stop us — not The Hague, not the [Iranian-led] axis of evil and not anybody else?
Netanyahu announced in a press conference: We will continue the war in the Gaza Strip until we achieve all our objectives. The Hague and the axis of evil will not stop us, but did not clarify what he meant by the axis of evil.

Israel should be stopped, but these Zionist thugs do not seem to worry about international humanitarian law
It’s a little rich, isn’t it? This from the country that massacred literally countless West Papua’s, East Timorese, and, well, everyone else (Chinese, Leftists, Atheists…) –unknown millions of them– and who still does so while occupying huge swathes of land (West Papua being three times the size of Israel)…
You are confused. Indonesia isn’t the one on trial. Anything they did or didn’t do is irrelevant to determining whether “Israel” did what it stands accused of.
Let Indonesia handle it own Islamic terrorism—– October 30, 2023—Jakarta (VNA) – The counter-terrorism squad of Indonesian police (Densus 88) has arrested 45 terror suspects in October to ensure social security before the elections in February 2024. Speaking at a press conference on October 29, the spokesman for the Indonesian National Police, Brigadier General Ahmad Ramadhan, said that the country’s police force in general and Densus 88 in particular are stepping up the suppression of terrorist groups. Twenty-seven suspects were apprehended in separate operations in Jakarta, West Java and Central Sulawesi provinces. They are allegedly members of the extremist group… Read more »
IS is funded and supported by Israel/Mossad. What do you want me to say? I agree Jews spread terrorism allover the world and every country should dismantle Mossad cells in their country.
Israel is packed full of terrorists, and at the very least Indonesia is doing something about their problems. Israel, on the other hand, actually supports and condones attacks by illegal settlers against Palestinian farmers and businesses. So, is your point that Indonesia has suppressed terror groups in their midst, or that Israel is supporting genocide on all fronts by arming, protecting, and inspiring Israeli settlers? Don’t even get me started about the number of Israeli prime ministers that were part of active terrorist organizations (Irgun, Haganah, etc.). And yet, their graves are treated like shrines in Israel. Don’t play that… Read more »
