ANC members took to the streets of Pretoria on Friday to march to the Israeli embassy in a show of solidarity with the people of Palestine.
After days of aerial bombardment by Israel, two days ago hundreds of people were killed in a blast at a hospital in Gaza.
This followed an attack on Israel by the Hamas militant group which saw up to 1,400 Israelis lose their lives.
More than 3,000 people are believed to have been killed on both sides of the Hamas-Israeli conflict in the past 13 days.
ANC first deputy secretary-general Nomvula Mokonyane said the resolution to stand with the people of Palestine is not lip service.
We can not keep quiet when people are being killed. We will not be free until they are free. #PalestineSolidarityMarch 🇵🇸🇿🇦 pic.twitter.com/IWoaGIwNys
