🇿🇦 _*South Africa remains steadfast in pursuing the genocide case against Israel, unfazed by Trump's threats, FM says*_
In response to South Africa’s legal action accusing Israel of violating international laws during its war in Gaza and the country's land policy, US President Trump signed an executive order threatening to halt foreign aid and assistance to South Africa.
However, Ronald Lamola emphasized that there is “no chance” of withdrawing the case.
The tensions have escalated further as the US accused South Africa of collaborating with Iran on commercial, military, and nuclear arrangements, claims dismissed by Lamola as “misinformation.”
With concerns growing over the potential loss of $440 million in aid and tariff-free access to US markets under the African Growth and Opportunity Act, South Africa seeks “urgent engagement” with the US.
While maintaining its stance, Lamola expressed hope for dialogue.
