Irish MEP accuses von der Leyen of ‘silence’ on genocide case against Israel
An Irish MEP has accused European Commission president Ursula von der Leyen of being “silent” on the genocide claims facing Israel in a top UN court.
Fianna Fail MEP Barry Andrews also called on other EU states to join Ireland in legally intervening in South Africa’s case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ).
Ireland is expected to intervene to emphasise the importance of protecting civilians once the main case has been filed.
