CAPE TOWN - President Cyril Ramaphosa says government is moving ahead with plans to downgrade South Africa's Embassy in Israel in fulfilment of a resolution agreed to at the African National Congress 's national conference more than a year ago.
He said the decision was based on the continuing violation of Palestinian's rights and the Israeli government's failure to enter negotiations for a two-state solution. “Our approach is informed by our concern at the ongoing violation of the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination and refusal of the government of Israel to enter into meaningful negotiations to find a just and peaceful resolution to this conflict.”
