South Africa’s Justice Minister Ronald Lamola has stated that his country is collaborating with Egypt to halt Israeli aggression in Gaza, emphasizing Egypt’s efforts to push for a ceasefire and facilitate aid delivery to the area.
During a Skype interview with Cairo News Channel, Lamola mentioned that another nation is set to join South Africa and Egypt in enforcing a ruling by the International Court of Justice.
He highlighted President Sisi’s commitment to investigating Israeli crimes in Gaza.
Lamola welcomed the International Court of Justice’s decision, declaring it a binding verdict that Israel must implement.
He noted that the evidence presented to the court aimed to secure a ceasefire in Gaza.
The minister pointed out the ongoing Israeli aggression in Gaza, calling for international pressure to cease fire and condemning the actions in Gaza as genocide, witnessed by the global community.
Lamola accused Israel of using self-defense as a pretext to commit genocide.
The number of casualties resulting from the bombing of various districts of the Gaza Strip by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) is approaching 27,000 with almost 66,000 wounded, the Gaza Health Ministry reported on its Telegram channel.
“The number of those killed as a result of Israel’s aggression since October of last year has risen to 26,900, and 65,949 people have suffered wounds,” the ministry said in a statement posted on its Telegram channel.
According to the ministry, “at least 150 people have been killed in the enclave and 313 have been wounded alone in the past 24 hours.” Some corpses are still under the rubble, and medical workers are not able to reach them yet.
