Introduction: Uniting for Freedom and Justice
The historic relationship between South Africa’s liberation movement and the Palestinian struggle is deeply rooted in shared experiences of oppression, resistance, and solidarity. From the days of apartheid to the contemporary challenges faced by Palestinians, the two movements have found common ground in their quests for freedom, justice, and equality. This article aims to explore the historical ties between these two movements, the motivations behind South Africa’s initiative to take Israel to the International Court of Justice (ICJ), strategies to support the Palestinian struggle, and a projection of the potential outcomes of the ICJ interim measures.
