During a meeting between South Africa's President Cyril Ramaphosa and Jewish leaders to address rising antisemitism, Ramaphosa surprised the Jewish community by primarily focusing on accusing Israel of genocide, citing this meeting when South Africa charged Israel with genocide at the International Court of Justice.

South Africans recently gathered at Johannesburg's airport to celebrate their legal team's participation in filing a suit with the International Court of Justice (ICJ) against Israel, alleging violations of the Genocide Convention in Gaza.

The Jewish community in South Africa is facing challenges as the government demonstrates a bias towards Hamas and strengthens ties with the terrorist organization.
