Lindiwe Sisulu is facing a campaign by the SA Jewish Board of Deputies for this decision. On Friday, the community newspaper, the powerful, called her “SA Jewry’s threat in government”. The local South African Jewish community is up in arms about the downgrade; a smaller number of Jewish activists for peace, like former Intelligence Minister Ronnie Kasrils, support the move.
At the time, US president Donald Trump had recognised Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, an incendiary move. The ANC conference criticised this. It resolved that: “Consequently, and in order to give our practical support to the oppressed people of Palestine, the ANC has unanimously resolved to direct the SA government to immediately and unconditionally downgrade the South African embassy in Israel to a Liaison Office.
The ANC has always held close ties to the PLO as liberation movements and a significant part of the governing party believes Israel to be a neo-apartheid state.Support for Palestine puts Ramaphosa in a tough spot
