ICJ ruling: It was our place to get involved — South African president

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa says It was our place to get involved and that the ICJ’s ruling must be respected by all who recognise the court, including Israel.

Speaking after the court’s ruling on the application brought by his country, Ramaphosa says South Africa expects Israel, “as a self-proclaimed democracy, and as a state that respects the rule of law,” to abide by the ruling.

“Some have told us we should mind our own business and not get involved in the affairs of other countries and yet it is very much our place as the people who know too well the pain of dispossession, discrimination, state-sponsored violence,” he said.

He said following the ruling, there should be more effort towards a ceasefire, and an end to the conflict through a two-state solution that would grant Palestinians self-determination.
