The world has seen enough of the tragedy in Gaza and it is time for countries to use their influence over Israel to put a stop to “this real crime against humanity”, South African foreign minister Naledi Pandor says.
Pandor told Al Jazeera her government may refer Israel to the International Criminal Court.
There are “very clear similarities” between the apartheid system in South Africa and Israel’s occupation of Palestine, she added.
“We know people cannot own property and it can be seized without any compensation, which is what we experienced in our own country. People have to carry identity documents that reflect their ethnicity rather than citizenship. All of this is part of the apartheid feature,” Pandor explained.
South Africa is one of the few countries that cut ties with Israel in response to its attack on the Gaza Strip.
