The nine are members of the Democratic Alliance, Patriotic Alliance, and African Christian Democratic Party.

The group says their visit appears to have been a one-sided fact-finding mission.

The group’s Chairperson, Supra Mahumapelo, insists that the MPs must explain in what capacity they visited Israel.

“Everybody knows what Israel is doing, committing genocide against the people of Palestine. Now, the other thing is they go there and call themselves MPs from the Republic of SA’s parliament. I have sat with Parliament as the study group. They don’t have a mandate to go there and call themselves MPs. They must go there and represent themselves as individuals. Everybody has the right to go anywhere in the world; they can go, but let them not create the impression that they are there to represent the Parliament of SA.”
