To discuss the conflict in Israel and the Gaza Strip.
President Cyril Ramaphosa will attend a peace summit in Cairo on Saturday to discuss the conflict in Israel and the Gaza Strip, his office said.
“President Ramaphosa has been deeply concerned by attacks on civilians, the resulting enormous loss of life, displacement of people and the humanitarian crisis that has engulfed the Gaza Strip,” South Africa’s presidency said in a statement on Friday. “South Africa stands ready to join the global effort that will bring about lasting peace to the Middle East.”
South Africa has long been an advocate for peace in the region, likening the plight of Palestinians to its own under an apartheid regime that ended in 1994.
