South Africa to Arrest Citizens Fighting for Israel in IDF

South Africa's foreign minister has warned that any citizens fighting for the Israeli Defense Forces in Gaza will be arrested upon their return, citing concerns over potential violations of South Africa's arms control laws. The announcement comes amid deteriorating relations between the two nations, with South Africa being a vocal supporter of the Palestinian cause and accusing Israel of committing genocide in the Gaza Strip. The foreign ministry also stated that those with dual South African-Israeli citizenship could face the loss of their South African citizenship. Israel has denied claims of enforcing an apartheid state on Palestinians, and it remains unclear how many South Africans have participated in the conflict.
