"Nelson Mandela's Pro-Palestinian Legacy: A Decade of Impact"

A decade after Nelson Mandela's death, his pro-Palestinian legacy lives on as the ANC party in South Africa continues to strongly support the Palestinian cause. Mandela's embrace of Palestinian leader Yasser Arafat symbolized his commitment to the struggle against white minority rule, and the ANC's solidarity with the Palestinians remains controversial. Last month, the ANC backed a motion to suspend diplomatic ties with Israel until a ceasefire in Gaza is agreed upon. While some in South Africa's Jewish community criticize the ANC's stance, many South Africans follow Mandela's lead in supporting the Palestinian cause.
