Africa-Press – Mauritius. <\/strong><\/span>Rabbi Warren Goldstein, Chief Rabbi of South Africa, has returned from a visit to Israel, where he launched an informal diplomatic channel between the two countries.<\/p>\n

Goldstein met with Israeli leaders, including President Isaac Herzog, Minister of Foreign Affairs Yisrael Katz, and Minister of Diaspora Affairs Amichai Chikli, and assured them that despite the ANC government\u2019s \u201cmorally repugnant\u201d support for Hamas and Iran, most South Africans have distanced themselves from the ANC\u2019s position.<\/p>\n

\u201cI conveyed a message to the government and the people of Israel, on behalf of the South African Jewish community, as well as millions of our fellow citizens throughout the country – that the ANC government does not speak in our name, that we stand shoulder to shoulder with Israel in the battle against the forces of evil,\u201d said Goldstein.<\/p>\n

\u201cIsrael has many allies and friends here in South Africa who are ashamed of their government\u2019s support for terrorist regimes and despots.<\/p>\n

\u201d Goldstein declared that the ANC\u2019s current foreign policy towards Israel does not serve the interests of the people of South Africa.<\/p>\n

\u201cSouth Africa can benefit so much from Israel\u2019s innovation, people, technology, and economy, and most of all from the Divine blessings that flow into South Africa from Israel, knowing the promise made to Abraham that those who bless Israel will be blessed,\u201d he said, adding that significant effort will be invested in building an informal diplomatic channel between Israel and South Africa until such time as a sound official diplomatic relationship can be reestablished.<\/p>\n
