Monday, 20 January 2025: - The South African Communist Party (SACP) welcomes the Ceasefire in the Gaza Agreement and reiterates its solidarity with the Palestinian people for their fundamental right to self-determination and freedom of historical Palestine. The Israeli regime must fully respect the agreement and stop the genocide on Palestinian people and all forms of aggression both in Gaza and across the entire Palestine.
The SACP commends the mediators, Qatar and Egypt, for their great efforts to facilitate the process that culminated in the ceasefire agreement. In the same vein, we express our sincere gratitude to all peace-loving people of the world who have condemned the Israeli genocide on the Palestinian people in no uncertain terms and consistently called for the ceasefire.
South Africa’s efforts to refer the apartheid Israeli settler regime to the International Court of Justice were crucial and we reiterate our support for this decisive action.
Through its genocidal campaign, the Zionist apartheid Israeli settler regime has murdered over 46,565 Palestinians in Gaza since October 2023, in addition to the over 110,000 people it has wounded and massive destruction of infrastructure, including hospitals and other healthcare centres, institutions of learning, water infrastructure, sanitation infrastructure, roads infrastructure, and more. Apartheid, regardless of who has adopted and practices it, remains a crime against humanity, condemned by the United Nations.
