Africa Live: We are not representing Hamas - SA foreign minister - BBC News | |
(about 1 hour later) | |
South Africa's Foreign Minister Naledi Pandor has blasted Israel's spokesperson for accusing her government of "representing | |
the interests of [the] Hamas terrorist organisation". | |
In response Ms Pandor told the BBC "insults are the last resort of a scoundrel". | |
Ms Pandor, who is in the Ethiopian capital, Addis Ababa, to attend the African Union summit, said the international community had a responsibility to bring the Israel-Gaza conflict to an end. | |
"It’s unconscionable that the world has allowed this to carry on for so long," she said. | |
She added that the world needs to prepare for a "two-state solution". | |
Relations between Israel and South Africa have been tense since South Africa filed a case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), accusing Israel of committing genocide in Gaza - a charge it has rejected. | |
The ICJ ruled that Israel should do everything in its power to avoid killing Palestinians and they should address the humanitarian situation in Gaza. | |
Following the order, South Africa made an urgent request to the ICJ to consider whether Israel risks breaching the court orders. | |
Ms Pandor said South Africa will continue to "argue this onslaught on Palestinian people is designed to commit genocide". | |
Israel took action after Hamas-led gunmen killed at least 1,200 people and seized 253 hostages in a surprise attack on its territory on 7 October. | |
It has pledged to eliminate Hamas and get the hostages returned. | |
More than 27,800 Palestinians have been killed and at least 67,000 injured by the war launched by Israel in response, according to the Hamas-run health ministry. | |
