South Africa, Malaysia and Colombia oppose armed ships in their ports for Israel

The leaders of South Africa, Malaysia and Colombia have announced in a joint newspaper article that they will block ships carrying weapons to Israel from their ports.

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa, Malaysian Prime Minister Anwar Ibrahim and Colombian President Gustavo Petro, in their joint article in Foreign Policy Magazine, have called for an end to the Zionist regime's immunity from violating international law. 

The article stated: The choice is clear; either we collectively take action to enforce international law or we risk collapse.

The leaders of the three countries have also stated that they will block ships carrying weapons from the country's ports that aim to secure the weapons for the Israeli regime; and they will prevent all arms shipments that lead to serious violations of humanitarian law and principles. 

Ben Saul, the UN Special Rapporteur on human rights and the fight against terrorism, said in January that the United States and Germany sponsor 99 percent of the Zionist regime's weapons and that legal action should be taken against these countries.
