South African President Cyril Ramaphosa has expressed confidence in the country’s legal case before the International Court of Justice (ICJ), which seeks to address the alleged ongoing genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. During a parliamentary session, President Ramaphosa revealed that the government’s legal team is finalizing a comprehensive court memorial, expected to be nearly 500 pages long, with a submission deadline in October. The memorial reportedly includes extensive photographic and video evidence to support the claims.
The session saw John Hlophe, the newly appointed leader of the MK Party in parliament, questioning the president on what steps are being taken to ensure that any interim measures ordered by the ICJ are implemented in Gaza. In response, Ramaphosa underscored the robust support from several nations and the series of court victories that have strengthened the case thus far.
Ramaphosa emphasized that the case not only aims to support the Palestinian people but also reflects South Africa’s commitment to its own values of respect for human rights and justice. He highlighted that this historic legal action underscores South Africa’s deep empathy for the plight of Palestinians.
“Our commitment remains firm in advocating for the establishment of an independent Palestinian state that can coexist peacefully with Israel,” President Ramaphosa added, reinforcing South Africa’s stance on the Israel-Palestine conflict.
As the legal battle progresses, the South African government continues to rally international support and stands firm in its efforts to ensure that the voices of the Palestinian people are heard on the global stage.
