President Cyril Ramaphosa on Thursday called for a cessation of hostilities as Israel prepared to escalate its onslaught on Gaza after Hamas’s lethal incursion into southern Israel at the weekend.
“Our thoughts are with all the victims’ families and loved ones during this perilous period of fighting.”Reports on Thursday said Israel had not provided an exit route for civilians while bombing Gaza in retaliation for an unprecedented attack that exploited weaknesses in its military structures and killed 1 200 people.
“We call for the immediate cessation of violence and the exercise of restraint. It is vital that all those who require urgent humanitarian assistance are provided with the basic life-supporting necessities and that human suffering is ameliorated.”
