According to the foundation, the US government is one of the main driving forces and sponsors of the annexation.
“We as a civil society support our government and the African Union’s opposition to the annexation. We furthermore support the call by the South Africa Council of Churches for sanctions to be imposed on the Israeli regime for its annexation of Palestinian land,” said the foundation in a statement.
All social distancing protocols were observed.
