AMMAN – HE Dr. Talal Abu-Ghazaleh, founder and chairman of Talal Abu-Ghazaleh Global (TAG.Global), received in his office, the Ambassador of the Republic of South Africa to Jordan, HE Ms. Tselane Mokuena.
During the meeting, Dr. Abu-Ghazaleh praised the Ambassador’s government supportive stance for the rights of the Palestinian people, who are enduring genocide at the hands of the Zionist occupation forces. He emphasized that such positions are deeply appreciated by the Palestinian and Arab peoples.
He continued by commending South Africa’s decision to head to the International Court of Justice to put an end to the Zionist genocide and hold the leaders of the occupation accountable.
Moreover, Dr. Abu-Ghazaleh noted that this stand underscores South Africa’s commitment to upholding justice worldwide, especially for the people suffering under apartheid regimes, similar to the Palestinians under the Zionist occupation.
Dr. Abu-Ghazaleh further highlighted that South Africa is considered a prominent world example in the resistance against apartheid; a country whose people successfully defeated apartheid despite the stance of other countries. He remarked that Palestinian people today face a similar Western complicity against them.
For her part, Ambassador Mokuena expressed her thanks and gratitude to Dr. Abu-Ghazaleh for his warm hospitality as well as his unwavering efforts in support of the Palestinian cause.
