(Ahlul Bayt News Agency) - The Pretoria government intends to delete the name "Israel" from commercial badges affixed to several goods produced in Jewish settlements in the West Bank, out of fear of prosecution.

Several organizations supportive of the Palestinian cause in South Africa threatened to file a lawsuit against the Ministry of Trade if it does not respond to its demand to stop importation of products originating from those settlements.

The Hebrew media reported on Saturday that the Israeli embassy in South Africa is investigating the authenticity of the information posted regarding the government of Pretoria's intention to delete the word "Israel" from goods produced in the Jewish settlements.
