SOUTH AFRICA TO ICC: ARREST NETANYAHU NOW!

Benjamin Netanyahu should be brought before The Hague. That’s according to South Africa’s foreign minster, who called Israel’s actions in Gaza a violation of international law. Naledi Pandor also called for an immediate ceasefire.

South Africans feel a special solidarity with the Palestinians, whose plight reminds them of their own experiences of oppression under apartheid.

Pretoria has also now recalled diplomats from Israel - in disgust at what it describes as Tel Aviv’s genocide in Gaza.
