President Cyril Ramaphosa's government has once again taken a controversial position on a raging war with global ramifications.
He cushioned his support of Hamas by saying the ruling party was standing in solidarity with the people of Palestine, even though the people of Palestine have distanced themselves from the actions of Hamas. Ramaphosa said the Palestinians should be seen as"people under occupation who have been waging a struggle against an oppressive government that has occupied their land, but also a government that has in recent times been dubbed an apartheid state".
A statement from the Department of International Relations and Cooperation said:"Minister Pandor and the Hamas leader discussed how to get the necessary humanitarian aid to Gaza and other Palestinian authorities.
