Grußwort am internationalen Tag der Solidarität mit dem Palästinensischen Volk, Pretoria, 4. Dezember 1997, http://www.anc.org.za/ancdocs/history/mandela/1997/sp971204b.html
Original engl.: "I have come to join you today to add our own voice to the universal call for Palestinian self-determination and statehood. We would be beneath our own reason for existence as government and as a nation, if the resolution of the problems of the Middle East did not feature prominently on our agenda."
