Why it matters:
The protests come at a time when international bodies' support for Palestinian rights is declining, and human rights activists around the world are seeking to draw attention to the humanitarian situation in Palestine. As a country with a history of fighting against apartheid, South Africa is committed to supporting human rights and social justice, particularly in the case of Palestine.
Flashback:
In 2023, South Africa filed a complaint at the International Court of Justice against the brutal actions of the Israeli regime in Gaza. The case sought to prove that the Israeli regime is committing genocide in Gaza. The International Court of Justice issued an interim order to halt the operations of the regime in Gaza.
