Political commentators have called the decision an “unprecedented moment in the modern history” as Cairo was the first country to normalize relations with the Israeli regime.

Three other countries, Colombia, Libya and Nicaragua have already filed interventions in support of the case. Turkey has also said it is planning to join them.

Egypt has long warned Israel against a ground offensive on Rafah, which lies across the Egyptian border with Gaza and is sheltering more than 1 million Palestinians. An Israeli assault on Rafah would result in tens of thousands of Palestinians seeking refuge in Egypt.

The announcement by Egypt comes in the wake Israeli forces seizure of the Palestinian side of the Rafah crossing that has left hundreds of trucks filled with food and medicines stranded on the Egyptian side of the border.

In its statement on joining the ICJ case, Egypt called on Israel to comply with the world court’s interim measures which included the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza.
