South Africa’s Economic Freedom Fighters leader Julius Malema is standing in solidarity with Palestine amid a bloody conflict with the state of Israel in Gaza.

Addressing thousands of party supporters gathered outside the Israeli embassy in Pretoria on Monday, Malema said he is supporting Palestine.

He vowed that should he be elected to govern in the 2024 general elections, he will send arms to Hamas in their fight against Israel.

“Israelian President Benjamin Netanyahu is a number one terrorist and he must be declared everywhere he goes”, said Malema.

This comes after President Cyril Ramaphosa called Saturday, for a United Nations-led negotiation process towards resolving the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
