His Excellency affirmed that the massacres committed daily by the Zionist occupation forces in Gaza, the displacement of the residents of the Strip who have come to live in the open in this bitter cold, as well as the denial of water, medicine and food, are full-fledged war crimes, crimes of genocide, and outright ethnic cleansing.

Israel, as the occupying power, bears full responsibility for these crimes, whose brutality and savagery are almost unprecedented in history.

South Africa, whose people experienced the abhorrent policy of apartheid, is qualified to contribute to the defence of the oppressed people of Palestine, since the systems of Zionism and "Apartheid" are two sides of the same coin.
