The Economic Freedom Fighters (EFF) on Monday October 23 vowed that should they be elected to govern in the 2024 general elections, they will send arms to Hamas in their fight against Israel.
Thousands of party supporters were picketing outside the Israeli embassy in Pretoria on Monday.
The EFF said the demonstration is in solidarity with Palestine amid a bloody conflict with the State of Israel in Gaza. Furthermore, the reds berets said they can’t afford to be neutral in the Israel-Palestine conflict.
EFF leader Julius Malema said progressive governments have a duty to supply freedom fighters in Palestine with both military and food aid. “The EFF when it takes over next year, is going to arm Hamas and make sure Hamas has got the necessary equipment to fight for their freedom.”
The EFF said it will be putting pressure on the government to shut down the Israeli embassy until Palestine gains its freedom.
