 South Africa is vehemently opposed to last week's unilateral decision by the African Union Commission to grant Israel an official observer status as the organization. The country says it is appalled at the unjust and unwarranted decision. South Africa stands in part due to Israel's bombardment and continued illegal settlements of the West Bank according to its foreign ministry. The EU handed Israel the observer status on Thursday. A movie hopes would enable Israel to further help Africa battle the coronavirus pandemic and terrorism.
