Ufuna kuqiniswe ezokuphepha kwakhe uNaledi Pandor

UNgqongqoshe wezoBudlelwane baMazwe ngamazwe kanye nokuBambisana eNingizimu Afrika, uNaledi Pandor, usecele ukuthi kuqiniswe ezokuphepha kwakhe nomndeni wakhe kulandela uchungechunge lwemiyalezo esabisayo. Lezi zinsongo zivele ngemuva kwezinsolo zeNingizimu Afrika ezibhekiswe ku-Israel ngokubulala abantu eNkantolo Yobulungisa Yamazwe Ngamazwe (ICJ) mayelana nodweshu lwaseGaza.

Ekhuluma ngesikhathi kwethula inkulumo yesizwe (Sona) eKapa ngoLwesine, uNgqongqoshe uPandor udalule ukuthi uthinte uNgqongqoshe wamaPhoyisa uMnuz Bheki Cele ngenxa yohlobo lwemiyalezo ayitholayo. Ezwakalisa ukukhathazeka ngokuphepha komndeni wakhe, ukugcizelele ukuthi izingane zakhe kukhulunywe ngazo ezinkundleni zokuxhumana.

Nakuba engayidaluli imininingwane eqondile mayelana nemilayezo esabisayo, u-Pandor wagomela, “Abenzeli bakwa-Israel, izinhlangano zezobunhloli, [le] yindlela abaziphatha ngayo. Bafuna ukukwesabisa. Akumele sesabe.”

Engadikibali ngenxa yalezi zinsongo, uNgqongqoshe uPandor ukuqinisekisile ukuthi uhulumeni uzoqhubeka nenselelo yakhe yezomthetho ngokumelene no-Israel. Wathi, “Abantu bomhlaba nabasePalestine abazange bahlehle ngenkathi umbuso wobandlululo usesimweni esibi kakhulu; bama nenhlangano yenkululeko. Asikwazi ukuhlehla manje. Kumelwe sibe nabo. Enye yezinto okungafanele siyivumele ukwehluleka kwesibindi. Kubaluleke kakhulu ukuthi siqhubeke nalokhu.”

INingizimu Afrika isifake isicelo ku-ICJ sokuthi kumiswe ukusebenza kwamasosha eGaza futhi kumiswe ukubulawa, isola u-Israel ngokubulala abantu basePalestine ngemuva kokuhlasela kweHamas kwa-Israel ngo-Okthoba 7.

I-ICJ yabe isiyalela i-Israel ukuthi iqinisekise ukuhlinzekwa ngokushesha kwezinsizakalo eziyisisekelo kanye nosizo lobuntu kubantu basePalestine eGaza Strip ngenkathi ivimbela noma yiziphi izenzo zokuqothulwa kohlanga ezenziwa amasosha ayo.

Ukungezwani kwezombusazwe phakathi kweNingizimu Afrika ne-Israel kushubile selokhu kwaqala inselelo yezomthetho. UNgqongqoshe Wezangaphandle kwa-Israel u-Lior Haiat usole uhulumeni waseNingizimu Afrika ngokusebenza njengengalo esemthethweni yenhlangano yamaphekula i-Hamas, esola ukuhlanekezelwa kokuvezwa kweqiniso eGaza.

UHaiat uthi iNingizimu Afrika ayikunakanga ukuthi amaphekula eHamas angena kwa-Israel, enza izenzo ezinyantisayo kwizakhamizi zakwa-Israel.

Esicelweni sayo enkantolo, iNingizimu Afrika ikugxekile ukwephulwa komthetho wamazwe ngamazwe yizo zonke izinhlangothi ezithintekayo, okuhlanganisa ukuqondiswa ngqo kwezakhamuzi zakwa-Israel kanye nezinye izizwe, kanye nokuthunjwa kweHamas namanye amaqembu ahlomile asePalestine.

Intuthuko igcizelela ukuguquguquka kwezwe eliyinkimbinkimbi ezizungeze ingxabano yase-Israel-Palestine kanye nemiphumela yomhlaba wonke yezinyathelo zomthetho ezithathwe esigabeni samazwe ngamazwe.
