The South African Authorities condemns within the strongest potential phrases the continued acts of aggression carried out by the State of Israel on the Syrian Arab Republic. The current assault of 14 November 2024 within the Damascus suburb of Mazzeh, in proximity to the South African Embassy, different diplomatic missions and United Nations workplaces, is a blatant disregard of worldwide regulation and the sovereignty of the Syrian Arab Republic.
The Authorities of South Africa extends its sympathies and condolences to the Authorities and the folks of Syria, particularly the households of the deceased in these current assaults.
The continued aggression undermines regional and worldwide peace and safety. The greater than 120 assaults on Syria since 7 October 2023, have added to the worsening humanitarian disaster at the moment within the Center East.
South Africa requires the United Nations to carry to account those that are accountable underneath the rules enshrined within the United Nations Constitution.
