Egypt’s options to use the judgment of the Hague Court in favor of Palestine

According to the report of Fars News Agency International Group, informed sources say that the Egyptian government has not yet taken a decision to take a legal step at the international level in order to support the implementation of the judgment of the International Court of Justice regarding the case of Israel’s genocide in the Gaza Strip. . A decision that guarantees the implementation of temporary and urgent measures aimed at supporting the Palestinians and preventing the crime of killing Palestinians and the immediate provision of humanitarian needs in the Gaza Strip. They clarified that Egypt’s official estimates were of no use in escalating the situation against Israel, and Cairo was satisfied with the Egyptian Foreign Ministry’s statement on Friday and simply asked Israel to immediately implement all the measures mentioned in the International Court of Justice’s decision. The Egyptian government once again asked the Security Council and influential international parties to take responsibility for a comprehensive and permanent ceasefire in Gaza.

By Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, the International Court’s ruling on Friday Justice once again led to talk about Egypt’s role in bringing humanitarian aid to Gaza and stopping the war.

Egypt’s options for implementing the decision of the Hague Court

The former assistant to the Egyptian Foreign Minister, Ambassador Abdallah Al-Ashal, told Al-Araby Al-Jadeed about this: “Egypt cannot accept the consequences of going beyond the statement of the Egyptian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, which only requires Israel to accept the decisions of the Hague Tribunal on the import of aid into the Gaza Strip. Gaza urges tolerance. Proof of that is the speech of President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, who previously said that we cannot send aid to the Gaza Strip because Israel is blocking it on the other side. Therefore, I don’t think that Egypt can intervene in the case that is being heard at the Court of Justice, because it has many consequences for Cairo that it cannot bear.” Egypt can do after the decision of the Hague Court, said that “Cairo is expected to make several diplomatic and political moves at the international level, go to the UN Security Council, request a special meeting to obtain a recommendation to implement the decisions of the International Court Be a judge, not a resolution. After that, it will go to the UN General Assembly, which can impose sanctions on Israel or form an international force to escort convoys carrying humanitarian aid to Gaza.

He explained. : “Although the decision of the International Court of Justice against Israel has no practical effect, it has a great moral and legal effect for Israel, which was disgraced in front of the world after being convicted in court.

Another former assistant minister Egyptian Foreign Minister Rekha Ahmad Hassan says: “The responsibility of Israel’s obligation to implement the urgent decisions of the International Court of Justice rests with the United Nations Security Council, as the executive body of the international organization. Therefore, the Secretary General of the United Nations, Antonio Guterres, will refer the decisions of the court to the Security Council, so that the council can take an executive decision against Israel to implement these decisions.

He added: “In Two things are clear here: first; Israel’s evasion of the judgment is based on the fact that the court did not decide to stop the fighting and gave Israel a full month to submit a report on the implementation of the court’s decisions. Meanwhile, the accused has the right to evaluate himself and his level of commitment to the decisions. Second; The ability of the United States to veto what the Security Council may adopt against Israel and issue a binding resolution for Israel. Both of these cases are in the service of Israel, unless Washington changes its position and supports the implementation of the decisions of the International Court of Justice”. Rekha Ahmad Hassan explained that Egypt is the executive authority. It is not the Hague decisions, but it is fully ready to actively participate in its implementation with the United Nations.

On the other hand, Professor of Political Sociology at the American University in Cairo Saeed Sadegh said: “Israel must commit to facilitate the entry of international aid from Egypt, and if Israel refuses to open the crossing, Egypt, in turn, can formally provide evidence because this refusal by Israel is a violation of the International Court of Justice ruling that requires the facilitation of sending The aid has been given to the people of Gaza.

At the same time, he clarified: Egypt can only request permission to send more aid to Gaza and record Israel’s position in rejecting this request. Therefore, in this way, it can prove that the party that closes the passage is Israel.

On the other hand, Palestinian lawyer and human rights activist Salah Abdel Ati said: The decision of the International Court of Justice considers Israel responsible for the arrival of aid, and Tel Aviv should take all measures in this regard, including guaranteeing the arrival of humanitarian aid. and prevent the destruction of civilians and the crime of genocide.

He added: This obliges the different countries of the world to fulfill their moral and legal duties, adhere to temporary measures, provide assistance and ensure the cancellation of the collective sanctions imposed on the Gaza Strip. It guarantees that all actions in this regard are done jointly and individually, and that the Security Council and all international institutions ensure the arrival of aid and supplies, the cessation of killing and displacement in Gaza, and this is the role of all parties, including Egypt, the Arab League and The rest are international parties.

On the other hand, Egyptian analyst Ammar Fayed says: “I don’t think the judgment of the Hague Court will affect Egypt’s approach regarding the Rafah crossing, because Cairo has a firm and It is strictly adhered to, and that is that it must deal with the Gaza Strip as an occupied area, so it deals with the Gaza Strip in coordination with the occupying authority.” He explained that, of course, the goal The whole policy of Cairo is not the unwillingness to recognize the sovereignty of Hamas in the Gaza Strip, but rather the failure to create a political separation between Gaza and the West Bank, because it believes that this is the main goal of the occupying side.

The Egyptian political analyst continued: “Before the war, this was politically understandable, but now the insistence on delivering aid by sending it from the Rafah crossing to the Kerem Shalom crossing in order to be inspected by the authorities The occupation and giving permission to enter Gaza will reduce the level and quality of aid. Of course, there is another factor that makes Egypt adhere to these arrangements and be afraid of making a decision to allow trucks to enter directly through the Rafah crossing, and that is that Israel has warned that in this case it will bombard the trucks and the Rafah crossing. , what he has done before”.
