In a recent development, South Africa's foreign minister has announced that citizens who fight in the Israeli armed forces or alongside them in Gaza will be arrested upon their return home. This statement comes amidst escalating tensions between the two nations, with South Africa accusing Israel of genocide at the United Nations' top court.
Foreign Minister Naledi Pandor made the declaration at a Palestinian solidarity event attended by officials from South Africa's ruling African National Congress party. She also urged people to protest outside the embassies of what she referred to as the 'five primary supporters' of Israel, likely including the United States, the U.K., and Germany.
