South Africa ruling party ANC decides to downgrade ties with Israel
South Africa's ruling party the ANC has passed a resolution directing the government to downgrade its embassy in Israel to a laison office.
The African National Congress said late Wednesday that delegates to a national party meeting endorsed the proposal to the government for "an immediate and unconditional downgrade" of the embassy in Tel Aviv.
The move was described as a "practical expression of support to the oppressed people of Palestine."
