During a media briefing on Monday, Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni reaffirmed the call by African leaders for an end to the conflict in Gaza. The Saudi-Africa Summit in Riyadh, hosted by Crown Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, served as the platform for this call, she said.
She said that the summit condemned the targeting of civilians and the violations of international law by the Israeli government. Ntshavheni emphasised the urgent need for the global community to intervene and halt the ongoing genocide.
She further expressed deep concern over the Israeli government's atrocities against the Palestinian people, citing the deliberate attacks on the UN School in Gaza and the massacre of hundreds of children seeking refuge there.
