SOUTH AFRICA CONDEMNS GAZA 'GENOCIDE’

South Africa’s recalled its diplomats from Israel and described Tel Aviv’s assault on Gaza ‘genocide’.
It’s also mulling the expulsion of the Israeli ambassador.

Ten thousand Palestinians have been killed so far by the bombardment, more than 4000 of them children. And South African authorities didn’t hold back explaining their decision.

So far, nine countries have slashed relations with Tel Aviv since the escalation in hostilities, with South Africa again showing it's a major African ally to Palestine.

Alongside Algeria, it poured cold water on Israel’s bid to join the African Union two years ago. It also holds firm the creation of a sovereign state of Palestine is the only long-term hope for peace.
