Wednesday 01 July 2020, coinciding with the date that Israel plans on stealing through annexation more than 30 percent of Palestinian land, the staff and volunteers of the Ahmed Kathrada Foundation and #Africa4Palestine will hold a lawful picket outside the US Consulate in Sandton.

The USA, and specifically the Donald Trump administration, is the main driving force and sponsor behind the Israeli government’s upcoming annexation. We as civil society support our Government’s and the African Union’s opposition to the annexation. We furthermore support the call by the SA Council of Churches for sanctions to be imposed on the Israeli regime for its annexation of Palestinian land.

Media are invited to cover the protest: Wednesday, 01 July 2020 at 13h00, outside the USA Consulate (1 Sandton Drive, Johannesburg)
