On Intl Day of Solidarity with Palestine... SA reiterates commitment to cause
Pretoria (QNN)- Marking the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian people, the South African government reiterated its commitment to defending the just Palestinian cause and the rights of the Palestinian people. In a statement issued earlier today, the government of South Africa said that it is committed to a just and lasting solution to the question of Palestine. "The question of Palestine is still unresolved after 70 years and continues to challenge human conscience and international justice", the statement reads. The statement added that South Africa will keep its support for initiatives aimed at refocusing the international agenda on Palestine and the Middle East Peace Process, stressing that the Palestinian cause remains at the heart of the Middle East situation. The statement also criticized the Israeli occupation and violations against the Palestinian people, noting that "the only way to bring about lasting peace in the Middle East, is to have a comprehensive and unconditional negotiated settlement to end the Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories and Israel’s continued blockade of Gaza." It also called on the occupation state to stop its policy of settlement expansion, adding that it will continue to strengthen "the bond of long-standing solidarity, friendship, and cooperation with Palestine" and advocate for the rights of the Palestinian people.
