Egypt’s ICJ decision a ‘blow to ties’ with Israel: Analyst

- Egypt's government has announced it will support the case South Africa filed at the International Court of Justice, accusing Israel of genocide.
Dalia Fahmy, associate professor of political science at Long Island University, says Egypt’s decision to join South Africa’s genocide case against Israel marks an “unprecedented moment in the modern-day history” between the two countries.
“Egypt has been the most important mediator in the region, the first Arab nation to recognise and formalise ties with Israel in 1979. And here is the symbolic moment, where the Egyptian government puts its foot down. The first is a humanitarian one, where the Ministry of Foreign Affairs says the [Israeli] intervention currently comes in increasing severity. And that Israel’s actions in Gaza leading to the death of almost 40,000 individuals violates international humanitarian law and the fourth Geneva Convention,” she told Al Jazeera.
“This moment has deeper implications at the political level, because Israel has not proved itself in the eyes of Egypt as a good faith negotiator. It didn’t sign on to the ceasefire agreement even though it had said it would. Also for months, Egyptian officials have stated that Israeli invasion of Rafah would risk peace ties between the two countries. It’s more than the ICJ ruling, it’s also a blow to the ties between the two countries, because Israel … has actually seized the border and they have taken tactical provisional authority over the border.”

Opposing genocide shouldn’t be controversial.
Egyptians are puppets of US though. So, this is surprising.
When the world becomes run by organized crime, the truth is a threat to national security and world dominance.
I do not buy Egypt's lip service and symbolic gesture. All Arab countries are too scared to take action against Israeli atrocity and madness.
SISI IS EYGPTS NEW PHARAOH OF COWARDS AND SAUDI ARE RULERS OF ALL THE REST OF THE LAZY COWARD TRAITOR LEADERS
Go to school and one day you will be smart enough to realize that when a population triples there is no genocide.
South Africa is leading the way!
Indeed & has thoroughly shamed these Arab & Muslim hypocrites into action
Thank you, South Africa 🇿🇦❤️🩹🇵🇸
Please go move there
@@kappa82 & what are you bitter about?
@@Contra-mc1yh Shamed also white countries that love to talk about peace and humanity.
Shame to the western regimes for not upholding the international order!
The world agrees - Pstinians have brought it upon themselves. no ceasefire, no evacuation!
@@Michaelxx2inare you the worlds spokesperson? I think that it is quite clear that Israeli support dwindles daily.
Israel's 50+ years of committing mass war crimes brought this about. Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention states: “The Occupying Power shall not deport or transfer parts of its own civilian population into the territory it occupies.” Israel (Occupying power) has sent 700,000 Illegal settlers (transfer parts of its own civilian population) into East Jerusalem and the West Bank ( into the territory it occupies). These are war crimes.

They are Nazis just hiding behind a veil of pseudo democracy. They are a dirty racist apartheid colinising people trying to defend their Insidious evil with lies and deception.
Blinken's statement does not mean anything. They lied every day since the beginning. More countries need to join
The Palestinians need their own state. The US veto prevents a peaceful solution.

Egypt locked down her border and fortified her defenses to keep the Palestinians trapped in the most heavily populated warzone on the planet.
If Israel is committing genocide then Egypt made it happen.
So proud of South Africa for what we did initiating this case. 🇿🇦✨Thank you to all the countries that have supported the fight for Palestine as well.❤️🇵🇸

Yes you can be proud!
What a shame for my country Germany!

Finally! Where is Saudi, UAE and other Arab countries in support for Palestine and stopping of this genocide?!
Gulf states dont want to ally with losers
Do people that want to commit genocide, feed and warn the people they supposedly want to eliminate to get out of the city before they enter a city, so they don’t get caught in the fighting.
Did Hitler warn the Jews before he was coming ?
Yep. They need to flex their muscles even if it may cost them so temporary slowing of the great wealth they've been gleaning.
Those Arab countries don’t support the Islamic state. That’s why they do nothing.
Well done Egypt. Every country in the world should join in.
THOSE WHO PROFITED SHOULD FACE THE ICJ
That would be the US weapons manufacturers! Haha. Do you really think money ever does not buy justice? Especially in the US.
And they are many!
Especially my country Germany
World needs to wake up and take immediate action against the horrors of this ongoing genocide.
The World has woken up. Globally, ordinary people like you and me are doing everything we're able to, to have our voices heard in protest. The political and 1% who are benefitting from this horrific genocide continue enabling this diabolical evil occupying entity called israel. It is not anger that we feel, it is an incandescent rage and helplessness with an underlying sorrow for our Palestinian family.
USA as always is the leading power for genocide!
May Justice be served!!! FREE PALESTINE!!!!!

Protect the civilians !
Where were you last 80 years to say that in support of Israeli population which been targeted by indiscriminate attacks?
Do you really mean what you write or is it substitute to: "stop destroying Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad" groups?
Do you speak in order to help Armenians who faced actual genocide. Which resulted in ~20% of Turkish population to have Armenian great grandmother, but Turkish great grandfather? (Who btw raped her as they were killing all those boys and men.) They took even little girls which suffered that fate later.
How much did you speak for Kurds? 30 millions of them and their land is not their own, no country to their name.
agree
Iran and Saudi arabia need to do the same. Türkiye and Egypt doesn't get along but they are going to ICJ.
Irán 🇮🇷 Líbano 🇱🇧 Syria 🇸🇾 yemen 🇾🇪 irak ❤ are fighting.what do Egypt?
😂😂😂😂
Iran can't do anything at the moment, but surely they must be on standby in case anything lands in Iran or any important Iranian affiliate gets topped off
It's all lip service for the domestic outrage of their citizens. Egypt is a fail state close to bankruptcy who needs to be bailed out financially, and who controls the World Bank, their neighbor. Turkey is in financial straits too and is business partner with Is-ra-3l and EU. Jordan is dependent on the joos money, the king and family lives in luxury in Europe. Arabia couldn't care less, they just don't want the oil business to be interrupted. It is a very dark situation. Pray for peace, like thousands are going to do tonight 13 of May, to ask the white shining Lady of Fatima, Lady of Peace, to interceed for peace, doesn't hurt and may help.

This is completely eyewash, Egypt allow Israel to take over the Rafah crossing which is the last life line for Gazans. Shame on Egypt.
Egypt was not going to stand alone and fight the IDF. Not as long as the US backs them. They are going through legal and political means and trying to avoid starting WWIII.

@@user-ye7jp4ho1s "Genocide? what genocide?" The "surprised Pikachu" defence, how refreshing. What's next, Steve Urkel? "Did I do that?"
I would hardly class this as a War, Israel has an Army and an air force dropping 2,000lb bombs. What does Palestine have? 30,000- 40,000 Fighters? Even the Palestinean Police are dying in the line of duty.
Egypt's Action comes a little too late.
To late for what?

Well, it took them long enough...I am proud of South Afrika!
South Africans are embarrassed by their corrupt government doing this. Notice their students didn't protest which speaks volumes.

Egypt must show that it is ready to use some force, especially at crossings.
Too late eh

Israel:Ashamed of nothing,Offended by everything!!
About time someone getting out of his total numbness
Israel tries only to help with population reduction, eliminating the “lower races first”. Yes, that was so according to Winston Churchill who gave Israel this land in the first place, saying in his own words, the lower laces must leave to make place for a higher race! The same guy who fought the Nazis, yes! Look it up. England and US always working together when it come to white supremacy.
It is mind boggling why the US is still delivering any weapon systems to Israel given what has happened last 7 months, and all the violations the world has seen since.....
Unfortunately our United States is a corrupt terrorist country!
They were always like that. Where there's war, there they are. They profit from death and destruction.

The entire world should stand against this brutal genocide.
Thank you so much Mr. Baca and the guest for the great analysis. ❤❤❤❤❤
Fantastic interview; good on Egypt for the position it is taking. Also your guest really knew her stuff and did a great job of providing perspective.
Why would Israel stop? Never faced repercussions for their bombing campaigns. Feeble Western parents won't ground them
The Palestinians need their own state. The US veto prevents a peaceful solution.
Blinken is a disgrace
The gullible UN is a disgrace.
STOP GENOCIDE
Courageous decision of Egypt.
This is just for PR. It's a begger state.
Hardly! They must feel the danger to them is far greater.
Egypt should of opened their borders and helped Palestine people they could of saved so many lives they are a big disappointment.
No, Israel must to stop committing genocide and steal land.
Yet Egypt would not accept any Palestinian refugees. Or any of the middle East countries.
About time Egypt!!
Wow, it took them this long to figure it out!!!! 😕
Thank you Egypt 🙏🏼✌️🇬🇧

Why did Egypt wait this long to go to ICJ?
Egypt only pretends to care about Palestine. They even reinforced their border with an army to these people trapped in the most heavily populated warzone on the planet.
Must Egypt stay strong. Stop genocide !
Egypt has done everything to ensure make this genocide happen. They even sent an army to the border to keep them out.
Support humanity ❤
Excellent 👍
About time Egypt did something! Israel is currently breaching the agreement on the Philadelphia corridor not a perp out of US or Egypt.
The Palestinians need their own state. The US veto prevents a peaceful solution.

Oh Egypt, habibi... we see right through you - you did nothing being their neighbour - shameless... just shameless.

because the yoos have weapons from usakistan.....and egypt doesnt have a very strong offensive capability. their military is mostly defensive.
Egypt doesn't care and only used her army to keep Gazans out.
Egypt has to support the will of his own people 🙄 .
That's why Egypt hasn't accept any Palestinian refugee.
Egypt should immediately send Armoured columns in proximity of Rafah..they should pressure i&rael also all Arab nations have to pressure i&rael .... specially those who borders i&rael....Saudi Jordan both has to pressure i&rael.

This is GREAT news!
Give Palestinians their state.
The Palestinians need their own state. The US veto prevents a peaceful solution.
I don’t think they will give them a state, the Palestinians are divided, which make them an easy prey.
Do not equate Israel with Nazis. Israel can teach the Nazis a few more things on Genocide.
Egypt is doing the right thing. Continue the pressure. Camp David agreement does not mean a thing to Israel or the US. Just do whatever can end the war.
The Palestinians need their own state. The US veto prevents a peaceful solution.
Why? Israel literally sent people to South Africa to keep the Apartheid going. Sounds like the spade is a spade.
America taught them both. We're supposed to think that society was different back then but here we are supporting the same thing, even residential schools aren't a distant memory.
A great friend tells you when you're wrong - not hide behind inconvenience.

Egypt's eye wash.😢😭😭
Shame on Egypt who spectating the killings.
thank you South Africa thank you Egypt - England you shame us - please do the right thing 🤲🏽🌹
So basically they did nothing..
Dear Egypt,
Lower migration fees from $5,000 to $100. That's more meaningful than a piece of paper.
Right now, no one can get out, including foreign aid workers and nothing can get in at all. The IDF took that border and is in complete control of it. No food aid has been allowed to enter since Sunday. Even seriously injured children that were approved to be transferred out of Gaza for medical care, haven't been allowed to.
If Egypt does this Israel wins because all Palestinians in rafah will enter Sinai and there will be no hope for a future Palestinian state
Is this why Egypt wouldn't let the Palestinians in?
As and when Israel began its Rafah operation , Egypt should have broken all ties with Israel as it had been declaring from first day.
It is not worthy to show favor to the wicked,
to oppress the righteous in judgment.
God bless Egypt
Well done Egypt.
They also sent an army to her border to keep the Palestinians trapped in Gaza and they still do.
South Africa needs to concern itself with the horrific level of violence and rapes in that country including the "more than" 22,000 annual murders.
Late but good!!
I'm sorry but that girl has huge beautiful eyes.
