S.africa’s anc hails summit ousting of Israel diplomat, JOHANNESBURG South Africa’s governing ANC party on Sunday ate the “ encouraging ” deportation of a senior Israeli diplomat from the African Union( AU) peak in Addis Ababa.
Sharon Bar- li, Israel’s foreign ministry deputy director general for Africa, was on Saturday attended out of the AU assembly in the Ethiopian capital. Israel indicted arch- foe Iran of orchestrating the move with help from Algeria and South Africa. Vincent Magwenya, prophet for South African President Cyril Ramaphosa present at the peak, demanded that Israel “ substantiate their claim ”.
In a statement on Sunday, the African National Congress( ANC), which compares Israel to an “ dogmatism state ”, gave clear support for Bar- li’s ousting. The ANC said her dumping was aimed at “ thwarting an attempt to undermine the current sitting AU Summit from considering a report that is supposed to guide exchanges on whether Israel must be granted an observer status ”.
During last time’s peak, the AU failed to conclude addresses on Israel’s controversial delegation as an observer country. Algeria and South Africa were particularly opposed to it. According to the prophet for the chairman of the AU Commission, Ebba Kalondo, the expelled Israeli diplomat had not been tête- à- tête invited to the peak.
An Israeli politic prophet claimed Bar- li had “ valid delegation as an observer ”, accusing the AU of being “ hostage to a small number of revolutionist countries like Algeria and South Africa, motivated by abomination and controlled by Iran ”.
