CIC JULIUS MALEMA TO DEBATE THE CLOSURE OF THE ISRAELI EMBASSY IN THE PARLIAMENT OF SOUTH AFRICA

Thursday, 16 November 2023

The Commander In Chief and President of the EFF, Julius Malema will lead a motion on the closure of the Israeli Embassy in South Africa today, 16 November 2023 in the Parliament of South Africa.

In the past couple of months, the Apartheid-Israeli State has embarked on the massive bombardment, genocide and ethnic cleansing of Palestinian people, in a quest to crush them into extinction, after having stolen their land.

The people of Palestine have been subject to denial of healthcare, denial humanitarian aid, freedom of movement and freedom of religious expression, due to the intolerance of a cruel Israeli regime which is determined to continue with its colonial expansion and annexation of Palestinian land.

South Africa, which shares this common history of colonial domination and Apartheid with Palestine, cannot justify its continued diplomatic relations with Israel, and for this reason, the EFF calls for the closure of their embassy.

As things stand, the Zionist South African Jewish Board Of Deputies (SAJBD), has mobilised its racist constituencies to attack the EFF and the President, Julius Malema, for his principled stance in defence of the oppressed Palestinian people.

We call on all progressive people, allies of Palestine and peace loving citizens of the world to come out and defend the call to boycott Apartheid-Israel and cut all diplomatic ties with the genocidal Israeli State.

The motion, which will be voted on in the Parliament of South Africa, provides an opportunity for all those who claim to be in solidarity with Palestine to put their solidarity into practice, especially the ruling ANC which has paid lip service to the struggle of the Palestinian people for decades.

The people of Palestine and the world must watch the motion and debate which will be led by CIC Julius Malema under the following details;

Date: Thursday, 16 November 2023 Time: 14:00
