THE Palestine Solidarity Campaign has deplored South African authorities for not challenging why South African citizens, such as Eliyahu David Kay, pictured, serve in the Israeli Defence Force.

Kay, 26, was shot while on his way to pray at the Western Wall (Kotel) in Jerusalem on Sunday. He died in hospital.

The activist organisation condemned the Department of International Relations

and Co-operation and National Prosecuting Authority for ignoring the Foreign Military Assistance Act of 1998 which states that serving in terrorist and foreign armies is illegal in terms of South African law. Political Bureau
