The ANC continues to condemn the killing of civilians in this conflict and calls for constraint and adherence to international law by both actors. The ANC underscores the imperative need for de-escalation in this conflict. The recent development of a full blockade imposed by the Israeli government on the Gaza strip will exacerbate an already dire humanitarian and security crisis on civilians. We call on Israel to remove the blockade and allow for humanitarian help to assist civilians. Both sides must place a strong emphasis on fostering peace, security, and stability for both nations.
