Israel recalls its ambassador to South Africa for consultations.
Israel has recalled Eli Belotserkovsky: its ambassador to South Africa, after Pretoria recalled all its diplomats stationed in Israel and on the eve of a virtual Brics summit on the war in Gaza.
“Following the latest South African statements, the Israeli ambassador in Pretoria was recalled to Jerusalem for consultations,” Lior Haiat; spokesperson of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs announced on Monday on X (ex-Twitter), without specifying the nature of these declarations.
Earlier this month, South Africa recalled its ambassador and all diplomatic missions to Israel and called the war against Hamas in Gaza a “genocide.”
Last week, a spokesperson for the ruling African National Congress (ANC) said that his party cannot stand idly by and watch the genocidal actions of the Israeli regime.
while President Cyril Ramaphosa said his country had filed a complaint against Israel with the International Criminal Court over its military campaign in Gaza.
