His longstanding hostility toward Israel is no secret. His connections to groups with extremist ideologies such as Hamas has raised critical questions about how he will represent South Africa on the global stage, especially Washington, where Israel is a key ally. He said at the time he was looking forward to strengthening bilateral relations between the two countries.
AGOA expires later this year. Bilateral relations are strained at the moment. The world is also very different from when he served as ambassador in the Obama administration. Will his being a radical Muslim be like a red rag to a bull for Trump? Why would South Africa want to add this layer to our already difficult relationship with the US? These linkages render him unfit to serve in this role. While the US seeks to build on these agreements, groups like Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran aim to dismantle them, often through violence, Marks said.
This is very, very disappointing to read this about Ebrahim Rasool, and cannot go down well in the USA, let alone with Israel, or stand acceptable before the Lord, the God of Israel. The religious spirit that motivates Islamic terrorists also blinds their supporters, that what is good is called evil, and what is evil is called good.
Check out Isaiah , John , John The aim of a religious spirit wherever it rears its ugly head, is to bring death and destruction to all, and stop all people from turning to Yeshua in repentance for salvation. The Lord will reveal Himself to the world in the coming war of Ezekiel 38 and Hopefully many Muslims will turn from their hatred of Jews and Christians, to believe in and serve Yeshua, the Jewish Messiah. We pray for Israel and its people and for our nation, that the will of the Lord is done.
The fact that the RSA had seen fit to send a known religious and political activist to s country like the USA is lamentable more so when with Pres. Frankly the best thing that can be done is fir the USA gov to rescind his appointment and send him back with a clear message to SA to review their stance if they wish to garner any economic or financial support or incentive when posting an ambassador to represent SA.
