South Africa calls for Israel to be declared an ‘apartheid state'
[Aljazeera] The South African government has expressed concerns that Israel’s continued occupation of "significant portions of the West Bank" and the development of new settlements there "are glaring examples of violations of international law" as the longrunning Israel-Palestine conflict goes on.

"The Palestinian narrative evokes experiences of South Africa’s own history of racial segregation and oppression," Naledi Pandor, South Africa’s minister of international relations and cooperation, said at the second meeting of the Palestinian Heads of Mission in Africa, held in the capital Pretoria.

"As oppressed South Africans, we experienced firsthand the effects of racial inequality, discrimination and denial and we cannot stand by while another generation of Palestinians are left behind," she said.

Pandor said Pretoria believes Israel should be classified as an apartheid state and that the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) should establish a committee to verify whether it satisfies the requirements.
