CAPE TOWN - A pro-Israel lobbying group modeled after the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) has been launched in South Africa.

The Cape Town-based South African Israel Public Affairs Committee, or SAIPAC, launched Tuesday said aims to establish relationships with members of Parliament and other communities, as well as strengthen the South Africa-Israel relationship in South Africa.

The AIPAC advocates for pro-Israel policies to the US Congress.

“There’s a gap and a desperate need for a lobby in Parliament and to get the truth out to those who support us,” David Hersch, a co-founder of the group with Kenny Penkin, told JTA prior to the launch.
