South Africa on Monday recalled its ambassador to Israel “until further notice,” in protest of the deaths of at least 55 Palestinians in violent clashes with Israeli troops on the Gaza border earlier in the day.

“The South African government condemns in the strongest terms possible the latest act of violent aggression carried out by Israeli armed forces along the Gaza border‚ which has led to the deaths of over 40 civilians‚” a statement from the country’s Department of International Relations and Cooperation said.


“The victims were taking part in peaceful protests against the provocative inauguration of the US Embassy in Jerusalem,” the statement said of the mass protests organized by the Hamas terror movement. “The latest attack has resulted in scores of other Palestinian citizens reported injured, and the wanton destruction of property.”

“Given the indiscriminate and grave manner of the latest Israeli attack‚ the South African government has decided taken a decision to recall Ambassador Sisa Ngombane with immediate effect until further notice‚” it added.

Foreign Ministry spokesperson Emmanuel Nahshon confirmed that the South African ambassador was recalled “for consultations.” He will leave for Pretoria on Monday night, Nahshon said.

Israel financially supported Apartheid South Africa. Rabbis in that country speak derogatively of African residents. How any black can support Israel is beyond me.

Zionists were attacked in their own homes in the southeast....yet all you can do is cry over a few blockheads who flouted the law by arming themselves against the State....

emerged01:

NEWS: South Africa throws out Israeli ambassador After Gaza Massacre

This is highly commendable. We all must condemn state-sponsored terrorism by bloodthirsty Israeli savages against defenseless Palestinian Muslims and Christians.

There is no country in Africa that strongly oppose the Western-sponsored Israeli genocide like South Africa. Black South Africans were victims of the White supremacy Apartheid and what the oppressed Palestinians are suffering today is worst than what South African Blacks experienced.

Majority of South Africans Are Christians but they refused to be brainwashed with the fraudulent claims that the genocidal Israeli savages are the "chosen people of God". These Israeli savages considered Jesus (as) a "bastard" and his Mother a Prostitute but these brainwashed African Christians are still worshipping These Israeli Savages.

God is Just and God will never chose murderous criminals and bloodthirsty terrorists like the Israeli savages as His chosen people.

We must understand that American imperialism is behind the Israeli genocide in occupied Palestine. The Israeli regime is an American aircraft carrier in the Middle East.

Nigeria was among 33 countries that sent delegates to the US embassy opening in Jerusalem. President Buhari is a loyal dog of American imperialism via the Saudi regime. Western countries such as UK, France and Germany refused to sent delegates but Buhari sent delegate to please US President Trump.
