On Monday, December 18, 2023, the South African government has threatened to prosecute any of its citizens who join the Israeli military and fight alongside its soldiers in Gaza, as the country’s President described the conflict as “genocide”.
“The South African government is gravely concerned by reports that some South African citizens and permanent residents have joined or are considering joining the Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) in the war in Gaza and the other occupied Palestinian territories,” the Department of International Relations and Cooperation (DIRCO) said on Monday.
