Turkey on Wednesday filed its official request to join South Africa's genocide case against Israel over its conduct in the war in Gaza in the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in the Hague, the foreign ministry said.
Turkey had announced in May that it had decided to join the case - formally known as submitting a declaration of official intervention - and would make the necessary legal preparations.
Turkish Foreign Minister Hakan said it had made the formal request on Wednesday.
"The international community must do its part to stop the genocide and exert the necessary pressure on Israel and its supporters," Fidan said in a post on X. "Turkey will make every effort to do so."
