South African President Cyril Ramaphosa delivered a forceful condemnation of Israel at the UN General Assembly vote, calling Israel’s actions in Gaza “genocide” and urging the world to recognize Palestinian statehood. Ramaphosa insisted that the only solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is a two-state solution based on 1967 borders and demanded an immediate ceasefire, the release of hostages, and the removal of barriers preventing Palestinian statehood—including Israel’s separation wall. He also invoked the parallel between Palestinian suffering and South Africa’s own history of apartheid.
