COMMITTEE POSING FOR PHOTOTHE HAGUE, NETHERLANDS — SEPT. 2, 2026: A committee of Turkish lawyers from Istanbul No. 2 Bar Association presented evidence of Israeli genocide in Gaza to the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague on Wednesday, Sept. 2. The lawyers held a press conference following the visit to the ICC and said they would continue to pursue the case until those responsible for genocide and crimes against humanity are brought to justice. The evidence presented by the lawyers also includes Anadolu's book containing photographs proving Israeli crimes in Gaza. Israel has been criticized by the international community for indiscriminate attacks in Gaza Strip and its military actions amounting to collective punishment. It launched air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip on Oct. 7, 2023, killing more than 73,000 Palestinians and injuring many more. South Africa’s case, filed in December, argues that Israel violated the 1948 Genocide Convention. It filed an 84-page document with the court detailing acts it says amount to genocide in Gaza. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has been wanted since 2024 by the ICC for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza. The Hague-based ICJ is the principal judicial organ of the UN, established in 1945. It is composed of 15 judges who are elected for a 9-year term by the UN General Assembly and the UN Security Council. The Court has a role to settle, in accordance with international law, legal disputes submitted to it by States; and to give advisory opinions on legal questions referred to it by duly authorized UN organs and agencies of the system.
