SA discusses Israel's recent assault
Many people commented with their opinions about the war. Some people debated whether or not there was a genocide in Palestine.
Tinyiko Khambani said:
"It is because Israel went into Rafah in that daring and deadly operation that the two abductees were rescued. It is definitely impossible to stop Israel from going all out into Rafah. Those that are wanting to see Hamas to live to fight Israel another day are the ones that are highly vocal that Israel must not go into Rafah."
Freddie Whitehorn wrote:
"This is a very difficult time for everyone involved."
Sanzas Tops commented:
"This genocide must be stopped."
Devika Devi expressed disappointment:
"I knew from the beginning that ICJ would also become Israel's puppet and it became so."
Mzansi takes hats off to Pandor for Israel-trade stance
Briefly News previously reported that the Minister of International Relations and Cooperations, Naledi Pandor, revealed that the country would consider making trade partners with other markets outside of Israel. This comes after Israel lost a case against South Africa at the ICJ.
According to SABC News, Pandor believed South Africa would not trade with a country that commits atrocities. The tension between the two countries comes after South Africa's repeated calls for Israel to be held accountable for the deaths of thousands of Palestinians at the hands of the Israel-Hamas war.
Pandor has been vocal in her stance, comparing Israel to the apartheid regime and even calling for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's arrest warrant.
