Pro-Palestine groups picketed outside the African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) Business Forum in Johannesburg on Saturday amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war that has raged on for almost a month.
JOHANNESBURG - Some pro-Palestine groups called for the expulsion of the Israeli Ambassador to South Africa, Eliav Belotserkovsky, amid the raging war in the Middle East.
University of Johannesburg education professor Salim Vally called for the US delegation at the event to stop fighting Israel’s battles by arming the country. “There are millions around the world who are seeing through the deceit, the lies, who are supporting the Palestinians in their time of need – like we asked for support in our struggle.”
