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.
