South Africa has reiterated its call for an immediate ceasefire in Palestine and Lebanon and the initiation of a political process to secure a just and lasting peace, reports. “South Africa once again calls on the State of Israel to realise that the only way to achieve peace is a two-state solution where Israel will be able to exist side-by-side in peace with a viable and fully independent Palestinian State within internationally recognised parameters,” said yesterday’s statement marking the 47th United Nations International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People.
