“Palestinian-Turkish Businessmen Union condemns the Supreme Court ruling and praises South Africa’s stance”
Istanbul – Palestinian-Turkish Businessmen Union & Media Sources
The Palestinian-Turkish Businessmen Union strongly condemned the Supreme Court’s decision issued on January 26, 2024, which rejected calls for a ceasefire and an end to the ongoing aggression against the Gaza Strip. The Union stated that this ruling deepens the crisis in the region and raises serious concerns both locally and internationally.
Despite the disappointment with the ruling, the Union welcomed the judicial order that keeps the door open for prosecuting and potentially convicting the occupying state in the future. This development indicates that the court, at the very least, did not accept Israel’s request to dismiss the case—reaffirming that no party is above the law and that justice must be applied to all.
The Union also expressed its deep gratitude and appreciation to the government and people of South Africa for their courageous steps in supporting the Palestinian cause. These actions reflect a strong commitment to justice and equality and serve as an inspiring example for the international community.
The Palestinian-Turkish Businessmen Union continues to closely monitor developments, emphasizing the importance of sustained pressure for justice and peace in the region. It stressed the need for collective action to protect human rights and uphold international law.
