Leaders Condemn Israel's Gaza Campaign, Demand Cease-Fire

African leaders, including the African Union Commission Chairman Moussa Faki Mahamat and South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, criticized Israel's military campaign in Gaza at a conference in Kampala, calling for an immediate cease-fire and the release of hostages. They also urged for international justice for the Palestinians and expanded humanitarian access to Gaza. South Africa has filed a case at the International Court of Justice against Israel for genocide, while the Palestinian ambassador to the U.N. appealed to the Non-Aligned Movement to pressure Israel for a cease-fire after 100 days of war with Hamas.
