South African President Cyril Ramaphosa says he is ready to mediate in the conflict between Israel and the Palestinian territories.
Ramaphosa who called for an immediate ceasefire today, stated that his country can draw on its experience of conflict resolution in Africa and beyond, to broker a peace deal in the Israel-Gaza conflict.
According to him, the atrocities against civilians were deeply concerning, calling for the immediate and unconditional opening of humanitarian corridors to reach people in need.
Electricity, water and fuel supplies to the Gaza strip have been cut off by Israeli authorities, who say they will only end the blockade once all Israeli hostages are returned.
