Supporters gathered at O.R. Tambo International Airport to welcome home the brave South African delegates, celebrating their return from the Gaza flotilla mission and standing united in the fight for justice and freedom for Palestine.

Any accord, including the Abraham Accords, that fails to end the Israeli regime’s occupation of Palestinian land and disregards the Palestinian struggle for freedom cannot deliver genuine peace.

The fraudulent Abraham Accords merely legitimises the systemic injustice imposed by the Israeli regime: no right of return for millions of displaced Palestinians, no end to the blockade of Gaza, no genuine sovereignty, and no freedom for an indigenous people living under Israeli occupation. Far from advancing peace, the cynical Abraham Accords consolidate a status quo that threatens not only the Palestinian struggle for self-determination but also the future of Al-Aqsa Mosque and the holy sites of Jerusalem.

The so-called “Deal of the Century” ignores the enduring realities of dispossession, occupation, and subjugation. Yet despite repeated attempts to marginalise the Palestinian freedom cause, the struggle for self-determination endures through steadfast resistance and growing global solidarity.
