Cape Town - Saba:
South African President Cyril Ramaphosa stressed that his country continues to stand by Palestine and is in solidarity with its people.
Ramaphosa said during the opening of Parliament for the 2025 session in Cape Town today, Friday: The Palestinian people are experiencing indescribable suffering as a result of decades of illegal occupation.
He added: South Africa has acted in accordance with its obligations under the Genocide Convention by filing a lawsuit against the Zionist occupation entity in the International Court of Justice.
Ramaphosa stressed that his country is fully committed to the articles of the United Nations, including the principles that stipulate that all members must settle their international disputes by peaceful means.
The South African President's statements come at a time when US President Donald Trump is talking about displacing Palestinians from the Gaza Strip and settling them elsewhere, in addition to the occupation authorities banning UNRWA in occupied Jerusalem, in a move to liquidate its operations and thus liquidate the refugee issue.
