The African National Congress (ANC) 54th National Conference has resolved to downgrade the South African Embassy in Israel, to a liaison office.
The announcement was made in a statement by the ANC at the conference on Wednesday at Nasrec in Johannesburg.
It’s understood delegates from the North West, together with branches and regions from other provinces, proudly championed this resolution.
“In order to give our practical expression of support to the oppressed people of Palestine, the ANC has unanimously resolved to direct the South African government to immediately and unconditionally downgrade the South African embassy in Israel to a liason office.”
The ANC in the North West says it will now join other provinces and structures in ensuring the speedy implementation of this resolution.
“We concur with the PLO leader, General Jibril Rajoub, who was at our conference where explained that the downgrade of the SA Embassy in Israel will send a clear message to Israel that there is a price to pay for its human rights abuses and violations of international law.”
The ANC says it found unity in the solidarity with the Palestinians and support for such forms of sanctions against Israel.
