South African foreign minister Naledi Pandor has made it clear that her country is not representing the militant group Hamas in the ongoing Israel-Gaza conflict.
In a statement, Pandor stated that it is the responsibility of the international community to work towards bringing an end to the violence in the region.
The conflict between Israel and Gaza has been ongoing for many years, with frequent outbreaks of violence leading to loss of life and widespread destruction. The situation has escalated in recent weeks, with both sides launching airstrikes and rocket attacks, resulting in civilian casualties and significant damage to infrastructure.
Pandor emphasized the need for a peaceful and lasting solution to the conflict, calling on the international community to take decisive action to address the root causes of the ongoing violence. She also stressed the importance of supporting the Palestinian people and their right to self-determination.
The South African government has been a longstanding supporter of the Palestinian cause, and Pandor’s statement reaffirms the country’s commitment to advocating for a just and peaceful resolution to the Israel-Gaza conflict.
As the international community continues to grapple with the complexities of the Israel-Gaza conflict, it is clear that there is a pressing need for diplomatic efforts to bring an end to the violence. Pandor’s comments highlight the urgency of the situation and the importance of international cooperation in addressing the long-standing grievances of the Palestinian people.
