Minister Naledi Pandor will participate in the UNSC debate on the situation in the Middle East.
The International Relations Minister Naledi Pandor will later today participate in the United Nations Security Council’s debate on the situation in the Middle East, including the conflict between Israel and Hamas.
The United States says before a ceasefire can be considered, Hamas must release all the hostages who are reported to be more than 200. “She is arriving to attend open debates to be able to convey South Africa’s positions on the question in the Middle East. She will be able to convey that and not only to the Security Council but to all member states participating.”Hamas on Monday said it had freed two Israeli women who were among the more than 200 hostages taken during its October 7 rampage in southern Israel.
The Israeli prime minister’s office issued a statement confirming that the women, whom it named as Nurit Cooper, 79, and Yocheved Lifshitz, 85, were handed over to the Israeli military and would be taken to a medical facility.
