"South Africans Rally for Permanent Gaza Ceasefire in Pro-Palestine March"

Thousands of protesters, including members of South African political parties and civil society organizations, marched through Johannesburg demanding a permanent ceasefire in Gaza in solidarity with Palestine. The protest, held on the International Day of Solidarity with the Palestinian People, saw participants from various political parties, including the ruling African National Congress and the left-wing opposition Economic Freedom Fighters, calling for an end to Israel's military offensive in Gaza. South Africa has been critical of Israel's occupation of Gaza, with recent actions including a parliamentary vote in favor of closing Israel's embassy and suspending diplomatic relations.
