It’s not clear how many South African citizens have fought for Israel during the current war in Gaza. South Africa has a Jewish population of around 70,000 people
South Africa’s foreign minister says her country’s citizens who fight in the Israeli armed forces or alongside them in Gaza will be arrested when they return home, deepening the rift between the nations after South Africa lay accusations of genocide against Israel at the United Nations’ top court.
“I have already issued a statement alerting those who are South African and are fighting alongside or in the Israeli Defense Forces: We are ready. When you come home, we are going to arrest you,” Pandor said, to rapturous applause from the audience. The South African government was a vocal supporter of the Palestinian people and a critic of Israel even before the current war.
