EFF to march to Israeli embassy

Reading Time: < 1 minute

Intensifying the campaign against Israeli’s occupation in Palestine, the Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) will march in their thousands to the Israeli embassy.

The EFF is calling for the isolation of the Israeli government whom it accuses of being responsible for the violence and oppression in Palestine.

It’s been a hundred years since the signing of the Balfour declaration – a document that supported the establishment of a national home for the Jewish people.

Now, as the world prepares to celebrate the centenary of the declaration, the EFF says there’s nothing to celebrate as Palestinians live under difficult conditions. They will march to the Israel embassy in Pretoria to support calls for Israeli government to give Palestine its full independence.

The South African Jewish Board of Deputies says instead of fighting for the isolation of Israel the EFF should try and facilitate dialogue.

The march is expected to start at church square Pretoria at 11:00.
