The African National Congress (ANC) is doubling down on its support for the Palestinian cause.
ANC acts as a mediator
Minister of International Relations and Cooperation, Naledi Pandor, said that the ANC has been actively involved in mediating conflicts worldwide.
Amid escalating tensions in the Middle East, South Africa, through the ANC, has taken a firm stance against Israel.
Advocating for accountability
Minister Pandor urged multilateral organisations to hold Israel accountable for its actions in Gaza, reported SABCNews. This call follows the UN Human Rights Council's adoption of a resolution, demanding accountability for crimes against humanity committed in Gaza.
Conflict in Congo
In the continent, the DRC was also in focus as Pretoria pushed for an end to hostilities. According to TimesLIVE, South Africa sent troops there as part of the SADC peacekeeping effort.
The ruling party emphasised its commitment to promoting peace worldwide and ending conflicts on the continent.
Makgato Hector said:
"Sharp sharp one day ANC wants to the challenge of the military fight and we will get it soon and it won't be good. "
Bonang Mpitsa mentioned:
"Lives are equal. Both Israeli and Palestinian lives matter. South Africa is something else."
Zakes Sithole wrote:
"ANC must worry about the sinking ship at home and forget about Palestinians. "
Phumlani S Mzila stated:
"Bantu bethi besahlulwa ezabo izinkinga but bagijimela kwamanye amazwe. Anyway, let's say we trust them. But in reality, most of us will not vote for the ANC now because we are disappointed with them."
