South Africa Says Citizens Fighting for Israel to Face Prosecution, Citizenship Revocation
News - Middle East: The South African government has warned its citizens who are fighting for Israel in the besieged Gaza Strip could face prosecution at home, as President Cyril Ramaphosa once again denounced the Israeli aggression as "genocide."
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs in Pretoria said it was "gravely concerned" by reports that some South African nationals had joined the Israeli military to fight in Gaza or are considering doing so.
"Such action can potentially contribute to the violation of international law and the commission of further international crimes, thus making them liable for prosecution in South Africa," the ministry said.
The South African government has warned its citizens who are fighting in the Israeli military against the Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip that they may face prosecution and have their citizenship revoked.
