Africa-Press – Lesotho. <\/strong><\/span>South African Foreign Minister Naledi Pando announced that her country is in the process of submitting a petition to the International Court of Justice (ICJ) demanding that Israel be classified as an apartheid state.<\/p>\n

News24 quoted the minister as saying South Africa and Palestine were currently working on formulating practical strategies towards taking up the Palestinian cause to the International Criminal Court (ICC) and the ICJ, in The Hague, the Netherlands, to \u201cdeclare Israel as an apartheid state.<\/p>\n
