The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) says supporting Israel is akin to betraying the values of the South African constitution. Party leader Julius Malema was speaking during a debate in the National Assembly, titled “Removing the Israeli embassy and suspension of all diplomatic relations with Israel”.
This as Israel seems unrelenting in its onslaught on Gaza where thousands of civilians have been killed, many of them children. He has called on the world to impose economic sanctions on Israel while urging the South African government to expel the Israeli ambassador.
Malema says with South Africa’s history, the country cannot be in support of Israel. He calls on the African National Congress (ANC)-led government to take a stand against Israel.
“We call on the Ramaphosa-led ANC government to shut down the Israeli embassy in Pretoria and end diplomatic relations with the brutal Israeli regime. In the name of our constitutional values, we must end relations until the human rights of Palestinians are promoted, respected, and protected.
“As survivors of apartheid ourselves, we must fight on the side of the people of Palestine, on the side of the weak. We are calling on MPs and SA people to support the call to remove the Israeli embassy. We can’t share a territory with murderers,” Malema adds.
This motion was supported by ATM leader, Vuyo Zungula, the National Freedom Party’s Sheik Emam and Al Jamah leader, Ganief Hendricks.
