Pandor said the years of denial of Palestinian human rights stood in front of the adoption of a peaceful resolution to the conflict, which intensified after Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel earlier in October.
JOHANNESBURG - The Minister of International Relations and Cooperation International Relations, Naledi Pandor, said that while she was concerned about the lives lost in the Israel-Hamas conflict, she acknowledged how Palestinians in Gaza struggled for many years.
Thousands of people have been killed, both in Gaza and Israel, since Hamas launched a surprise attack on Israel earlier in October. Pandor said that the years of denial of Palestinian human rights stood in front of the adoption of a peaceful resolution."We recognise the desperation that leads to actions of this nature, having been a people who have experienced oppression and denial of freedom, and who had to engage in a struggle to obtain freedom from oppression.""In order to have a two-state solution, there would have to be a reversal of the occupation.
