EFF STATEMENT FOLLOWING SUCCESSFUL BILATERAL MEETING WITH HAMAS AT WINNIE MADIKIZELA MANDELA HOUSE
Wednesday, 06 December 2023
The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) is pleased to have held a productive and successful bilateral meeting with the Palestinian Resistance Movement HAMAS, led by Dr. Basem Naim, who leads International Relations for the movement, along with Emad Saber, and the EFF delegation led by Commander In Chief and President Julius Malema and the EFF leadership, at the EFF Headquarters, Winnie Madikizela Mandela House.
Today, the 6th of December 2023, the CIC was apprised by the HAMAS leadership of the dire situation in Palestine, particularly in the Gaza Strip, where the people of Palestine have been subject to massive bombardments, forced removals, the annexation of their lands, the destruction of their religious sites and hospitals, the genocide of women and children, and the continued illegal imprisonment of resistance fighters and civilians alike.
The EFF was given a first-hand account of the gruesome conditions confronting the Palestinian people at the hands of the racist, Zionist, and Apartheid-Israel and its allies, namely the United States of America (USA).
The first-hand account from the HAMAS leadership, which is at the frontlines of the struggle in Gaza, revealed a chilling humanitarian crisis, including the destruction of hospitals and, critically, the lack of medical supplies, water, and food in the hospitals that remain intact in Gaza. The people of Palestine have been effectively cut off from the world, as telecommunications have been disrupted, resulting in them being bombed in shelters, hospitals, and their homes, without any means to communicate their plight.
