At the 6th International Social Justice Conference, Achmat confronted Peschke, a panelist and large arms supplier to Israel, objecting to his participation. He accused Peschke of supporting Israel’s aggression and called on supporters of Palestine and Lebanon to protest his presence. South Africa has openly supported Palestine, with President Cyril Ramaphosa reaffirming the country’s unwavering commitment to the Palestinian cause.
In response to Israel’s actions in Gaza, South Africa filed a case at the International Court of Justice in The Hague, accusing Israel of violating the Genocide Convention. The court ordered Israel to halt its offensive in the southern Gaza city of Rafah, marking the third time the panel intervened to reduce casualties in the blockaded enclave.
