What we are witnessing in Gaza is a humanitarian crisis that borders on genocide<\/p>\n<p>He said the ZCTU unequivocally reaffirms its support for the struggles of the people of Palestine to end apartheid, and colonial occupation and for their right to be independent and call upon the International Criminal Court (ICC) to pursue war crime charges against the authorities in Israel.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also call upon the Government of Zimbabwe to send a strong message to the Israeli government to immediately stop its excesses and brutal murder of innocent civilians in Gaza.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe Government of Israel must respect sovereign rights and freedom of the people of Palestine and embark on serious negotiations for a genuine settlement that accommodates both parties,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>Moyo added that in the same vein, the working class of Zimbabwe and the working people of the world must support the struggle of thePalestinian people for Freedom.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/zimbabwe\">Zimbabwe<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Zimbabwe.
