ZAMBIAN GOVT SUED OVER DIPLOMATIC RELATIONS WITH ISRAEL

By Darius Choonya

The Zambian Government has been taken to the Constitutional Court over its decision to establish diplomatic relations with the State of Israel.



Former Lumezi Member of Parliament Munir Zulu, who has filed the petition, contends that the move contravenes Articles 8(d) and 9(1)(c) of the Constitution, which highlight human dignity as a national value and guide the implementation of State policy.



Mr. Zulu has cited Attorney General Mulilo Kabesha as the first respondent and Foreign Affairs Minister Mulambo Haimbe as the second respondent.



In his petition, he is asking the Constitutional Court to declare Zambia’s relations with Israel unconstitutional.



He also refers to the 1973 decision by then President Kenneth Kaunda to cut diplomatic ties with Israel, which he says was influenced by Zambia’s support for the Palestinian cause.

  1. This ka Munir Zuku is a very big problem and programatic to himself. A prisoner for hate speech and arrogance. Your belief in Islam has not changed Zambia to be a Christian nation hence your stance in the way and hate of Isreal is an extension of your hate to certain sections of people and tribe in Zambia now you have crossed borders. But iyi yamene wayamba will take you to helll because Isreal is not a Country to play masangalatoni with. ISREAL IS A HOLY Place – LAND. So, BASOPOOOOOO!

    Moreover, being a moslem yourself does not make or guarantee you to be above others.

    We stand in respect and believe in the Word of God in the Bible and here are verses that talks about standing with Israel and being blessed :

    – *Genesis 12:3*: “I will bless those who bless you, and whoever curses you I will curse; and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you.”
    – *Psalm 122:6*: “Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: ‘May those who love you be secure.’”

    These verses emphasize the importance of supporting and blessing Israel, and promise blessings to those who do so. They also highlight God’s love and protection for Israel and those who stand with them.

    *Additional Scriptures*

    – *Zechariah 2:8*: “For this is what the Lord Almighty says: ‘After the Glorious One has sent me against the nations that have plundered you—for whoever touches you touches the apple of his eye—’”
    – *Genesis 27:29*: “Let people serve you, and nations bow down to you. May you be master over your brothers, and may your mother’s sons bow down to you. May those who curse you be cursed, and those who bless you be blessed.”

    These scriptures demonstrate God’s love and protection for Israel and those who support them.

    And for Zambia to re- establish relationship with Isresl again is a very good thing in the right directuon. We greatly thank His Excellency the President of the Republic of Zambia President Hakainde Hichilema for this great move. It is not by might nor power but by the grace of God that he did this. Zsmbia is now greatly in the hands and protection of the ALMIGHTY GOD.

    We are blessed.

    For you munir Zulu and your blood thirst Pf under the ECL the self proclaimed snake who pretends to be a dove, yours is the devil. Lucifer and hell.

    I don’t even know how this ka thing can even have the audacity to take the government to court over Isreal – Zambia relationship. You are inviting a curse on yourself. NIPANO TULI

  2. Mr. Munir Zulu has lots of money to burn. A fool and his money are soon parted. Umulembwe wa chipuba, upwila muli tumfwe.

    Lawyers are not cheap.
