Israel’s interception of Gaza flotilla ‘a grave offence’, says South Africa
South Africa’s President Cyril Ramaphosa says Israel’s capture of boats from the Global Sumud Flotilla is a “grave offence” against “global solidarity and sentiment that is aimed at relieving suffering in Gaza”.
Ramaphosa called on Israel to immediately release South Africans on the flotilla, including anti-apartheid icon Nelson Mandela’s grandson, Nkosi Zwelivelile Mandela.
“South Africa calls on Israel to ensure that the life-saving cargo transported by this flotilla reaches the people of Gaza, as the flotilla represents solidarity with Gaza not confrontation with Israel,” he said.
“My thoughts are with all of the abductees and their families and it is my expectation that Israel will release the human rights activists as these abductions serve no purpose in the context of efforts to secure peace in the Middle East.”
