Foreign Ministry ‘furious and shocked’ over Mashaal-Zuma meet
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe Israeli Foreign Ministry says it is “furious and shocked” over the invitation of South Africa’s ruling ANC for Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal and a delegation from the terror group to visit Pretoria for a state visit.
On Sunday, South African President Jacob Zuma met with Meshaal.
“This visit provides a tailwind and support for terror and blatantly ignores the position of the international community, which views Hamas as a terror organization.”
In a statement, the ministry says it summoned South Africa’s envoy to Israel for a meeting Monday to make clear its displeasure, and plans on issuing a communique to Pretoria.
