South Africa, Hamas, Iran, and Qatar
The Hijacking of the ANC and the International Court of Justice
This ISGAP comprehensive report examines the positions and alliances of the South African government in light of its decision to bring a legal case against Israel before the International Court of Justice (ICJ) in The Hague. The report reveals a persistent pattern of anti-Israel rhetoric and behavior by South Africa and specifically by the ruling African National Congress (ANC). The report focuses on the nature of South Africa’s strategic ties with Iran, Qatar, and Hamas, as well as the problematic political and financial backing of the country’s ICJ case by Iran, Qatar, and political entities such as the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine (PFLP).
Given the obstacles the South African government faced in bringing such a complex legal case, this report examines the anti-democratic and terror organizations that the South African government partnered with in order to advance this anti-Israel and overtly antisemitic project.
A case study examining the members and advisors of South Africa’s legal team at the ICJ provides additional insight into the bias, antisemitism, and even terrorist sympathies of the individuals and entities involved, including Law for Palestine (L4P) and Shawan Jabarin.
In addition, the report examines the expansion and influence of radical Islamism in South Africa and their close relations with the ANC today. All this demonstrates the extent to which the South African government has discredited itself through political and financial corruption, thus proving that it is in no position to act as an agent of justice at the ICJ.
