AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): “The recent attack of 14 November 2024 in the Damascus suburb of Mazzeh, in proximity to the South African Embassy, other diplomatic missions and United Nations offices, is a blatant disregard of international law and the sovereignty of the Syrian Arab Republic,” the South African Foreign Ministry has said in a statement.
This “continued aggression undermines regional and international peace and security”, it said.
“The more than 120 attacks on Syria since 7 October 2023 have added to the worsening humanitarian crisis currently in the Middle East,” the ministry said.
Under the principles enshrined in the UN Charter, South Africa called on the United Nations to hold to account those responsible.
South Africa has consistently condemned Israel's actions throughout the Gaza war. The country has also submitted a case to the International Criminal Court (ICC), calling for the trial of the leaders of the Israeli government for their crimes in Gaza.
