WNAM Report: On behalf of the Palestinian people, Ambassador of the State of Palestine along with the Embassy’s diplomatic staff, head of community and his deputy also Palestinian students union head and his deputy paid a visit to the Embassy of South Africa to meet the head of the Mission and his deputy to show gratitude, thanks and appreciation to our brothers, our friends and our partners of South Africa for their support, efforts and stand they are taking in the International Court of Justice. According to the Embassy facebook post, the Ambassador extended his gratitude to the South African partners by writing, ‘Thanks a million times! Thank your South Africa, History and Palestinian people will never forget this’.
It is note worthy that South Africa has asked the World Court on Thursday to order Israel to immediately suspend its military operation in Gaza, where it says Israel is committing genocide against Palestinian civilians. The demand came at the closing of the first day of hearings of a case brought by South Africa against Israel at the UN’s top court. Israel will respond to the allegations on Friday.
The case, brought by South Africa at the International Court of Justice in the Hague, accuses Israel of violating the 1948 genocide convention, enacted in the wake of the mass murder of Jews in the Holocaust, which mandates all countries to ensure such crimes are never repeated.
