Response by former President Thabo Mbeki You know that President Jacob Zuma appointed two special envoys to deal with he leader of Hamas who is resident in Qatar, Doha. These envoys were basically conveying the message that the South African government wants the fighting to stop and that it wants genuine negotiations to take place to resolve this whole Palestinian issue. In both instances, what these two liberation movements are saying to the South African government is that it [the South African government] needs to be actively involved in trying to find a solution to this matter. Therefore, one of the things that the South African government must do is to engage the Israeli government in the first instance, to stop that terrible war that it was waging in Gaza, but also to encourage it to move towards a just and permanent solution, which respects the sovereign rights of the Palestinians. We may be very happy with recalling the South African Ambassador from Tel Aviv and kicking out the Israeli Ambassador here and applaud for one day and then what happens after that? I think that the Palestinians are correct to say that South Africa has an obligation to engage the Israelis and to see what can be done to move as quickly as possible towards a just solution of this conflict. At the same time, I think that the demand is correct that indeed, we the people of South Africa must engage this matter by, for instance, heeding the call to boycott Israeli goods and divesting from Israeli companies etc. I think that call is correct. It is not the responsibility of government to mobilise people, we must mobilise ourselves. We need the political parties, trade unions, religious bodies etc. We need to mobilise so that indeed Israel does pay a price for the position that it is taking. I think that we should go out and mobilise for the boycott of Israeli goods, but I do not think that we should boycott Ambassadors. Our Ambassador in Tel Aviv needs to do what needs to be done as suggested by the Palestinians. جنوب افريقيا تعلن مقاطعة البضائع الإسرائيلية ردا على العدوان على غزة Patricia Nazira Salomón Aldunate 14 hrs · Lausanne, Switzerland Venezuela Sends 12 Tons of Solidarity Aid to Palestine telesurtv.net/english/news/Venezuela-Sends-12-Tons-of-Solidarity-Aid-to-Palestine-20140812-0031.html Venezuela Sends 12 Tons of Solidarity Aid to Palestine The Venezuelan people will send tons of humanitarian aid to Palestine today part of a five day visit.
