He emphasized that Israel must immediately cease its brutal assaults and adhere to international law.

Furthermore, President Dr. Muizzu voiced strong support for South Africa's call for additional provisional measures at the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in response to the recent attacks on Rafah. He urged the ICJ to take swift action to address the escalating crisis and hold those responsible for the violence accountable.
