    Yet another thing I didn’t say

    You said May 2. That article is from November.

    In May, the Turkish government petitioned the ICJ to join South Africa as co-plaintiffs. Not the ICC.

    In November, Turkish lawyers (not Turkey itself) provided evidence (not petitioned the court) to the ICC. The Turkish government cannot petition to join ICC prosecutors, prosecutors work alone.

    they just released decision.

    That’s a different ICJ decision against Israel, initiated by the UN in 2022. That decision does not address the invasion of Gaza, because it hadn’t happened yet.

    The Gaza genocide case before the ICJ right now is separate, this is the one that that Turkey petitioned to join in May, and this case still has no final decision.
