The march was part of Quds Day protests around the world. The protest in Cape Town was organised and supported by several organisations including the Palestine Solidarity Campaign, the Pan Africanist Congress, Qibla and members of South Africa’s ruling African National Congress. Outside parliament a memorandum of demands was read out and handed over to a representative of the Department of International Relations & Cooperation. Amongst the demands were calls for an arms embargo and a suspension of all trade, diplomatic and economic relations with Israel. The Palestinian death toll has passed 33,000, with another 75,600 people wounded, Gaza’s Health Ministry said. The ministry doesn’t differentiate between civilians and combatants in its tally, but says women and children make up two-thirds of the dead. The war began Oct. 7 when Hamas-led militants stormed into southern Israel, killing some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and taking around 250 people hostage. The top U.N. court has concluded there is a “plausible risk of genocide” in Gaza — a charge Israel strongly denies — and the U.N. Security Council has issued a legally binding demand for a cease-fire. On Friday, the U.N.'s top human rights body passed a non-binding resolution condemning Israel's conduct of the war and calling for other countries to stop shipping weapons to it.
