South Africa to sue U.S., Britain for complicity in Gaza genocide

South African attorney Wikus Van Rensburg expressed concerns over the ongoing financial and resource support from the U.S. to “Israel,” which effectively enabled crimes against the people of Gaza.

Nearly 50 South African lawyers, led by attorney Wikus Van Rensburg, are gearing up to file a lawsuit against the United States and Britain, asserting their complicity in Israeli forces’ war crimes in Palestine, Anadolu Agency reports. This initiative follows South Africa’s filing of a genocide case against “Israel” at the International Court of Justice (ICJ).

Rensburg, the driving force behind the legal action, aims to prosecute those complicit in the crimes through civilian courts, collaborating with legal professionals in the U.S. and Britain.

In an interview with Anadolu, Rensburg emphasized the need to hold the U.S. accountable for its actions and highlighted the forthcoming legal proceedings against Washington and London.

“The United States must now be held accountable for the crimes it committed,” Rensburg stated. “No one says stop, enough is enough.”

He referenced the lack of accountability for the U.S. crimes in Iraq and underscored the importance of giving due significance to such issues.

“What happened in Iraq is an example of this; no one held the U.S. accountable for the crimes it committed in the Middle Eastern country as the issue was not given the necessary importance,” he noted.
