The Economic Freedom Fighters, South Africa's third largest political party, held a pro-Palestinian protest outside the Israeli Embassy in Pretoria. Party leader Julius Malema called for the closure of the embassy and for retailers to stop selling Israeli goods. He compared the struggle of Hamas to that of Nelson Mandela and the fight for freedom in South Africa. The protest comes during the 17th day of the ongoing Israel-Hamas war, which has resulted in thousands of deaths. Similar protests have taken place around the world in response to the conflict.
