South Africa calls for pressure on Israel to stop attacks in Gaza, Lebanon
South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa has called on world leaders to put pressure on Israel to stop its attacks in Gaza and Lebanon.
‘‘We call for the immediate ceasefire in Gaza, release of hostages and also ensure humanitarian assistance does get through to the people,’’ Ramaphosa said in an address to supporters in Johannesburg.
He added that in the next few days, his government will submit its full case at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in support of the people of Palestine against the genocide that is being committed.
“Comrades, we are also concerned about the bombings that have been taking place by Israel in nearby countries such as Lebanon,’’ Ramaphosa said.
