June 3rd, 2010 - 2:55 am ICT by BNO NewsJOHANNESBURG, SOUTH AFRICA (BNO NEWS) – The African National Congress (ANC) Youth League condemned on Wednesday the Israeli raid on the humanitarian flotilla that was headed to Gaza to provide relief.
The Youth League stated that they view this as a provocative attack by Israel and a threat to international peace and condemns it in the strongest terms. The ANC Youth League called upon the South African government and the International Community to isolate the State of Israel and cut all diplomatic ties in solidarity with the people of Palestine.
The organization noted this backdrop as their reason for demanding the South African government recall their ambassador to Israel and expelled the Israeli ambassador from the Republic of South Africa.
The ANC Youth League stated that they continue to call for a two state solution to the Middle East conflict between Israel and Palestine. They said that they will forever oppose the barbaric attacks by the Israeli government.
