Since October 2023, the government of Israel has been accused of committing genocide against the Palestinian population of the Gaza Strip by several states across the world. The government of South Africa formally accused the country of genocide in December that year in a case before the International Court of Justice, with 14 countries joining the case by December the next year. Explicit state positions on the genocide include recognition, denial, or deferral to the ultimate result of the pending case. Acts of genocide recognition in particular include acknowledgement of genocide in the adoption of laws, parliamentary resolutions, and official speeches.
