Ramaphosa ‘has no backbone’ on Israel embassy downgrade

The debate on the downgrading of the South African Embassy in Israel continues to rage, and both the Jewish community in SA and opposition parties have expressed disappointment that President Cyril Ramaphosa had somersaulted on using constructive means to resolve the issue.

DA national spokesperson Solly Malatsi told a hall filled with mainly Jewish community members that it was not surprising since Ramaphosa had “no backbone as a leader”. Maimane slammed the government’s decision not to replace its ambassador to Israel and to downgrade its Israeli embassy to a liaison office.

Ngombane was recalled in May last year after Palestinian protesters were killed by Israel security forces in Gaza.

ANCwcape if he has taken a decision to permanently recall the SA ambassador in Israel, that definately shows he has a backbone

Ramaphosa has shown true leadership, South Africa will not standby and watch how innocent Palestinians are being slaughtered by Isreal, He has the backbone of great leadership

We have principles, we don't support killers. We are in solidarity with our sisters and brothers in Palestine

To quote from Julius_S_Malema: 'Someone is about to be vomited'. Did JZ also advised him on dealing with the book ' GangsterState' from his experience JacquesPauw book.

MmusiMaimane is as weak as ranaphosa at least his party to a decisive stand against Israel idf SAJBD these killers should be kicked out of this country,, wena mmusi you need to go with them ''coconut''

More vertebra problems for Big Mac Easy pleasing people with lies and popularist platitudes Harder facing them and telling them why your liberation movement stole their futures

A Christian would never have done it. There are more Bible believing Christians in this Country then their are Muslims..
