🇿🇦🇮🇱⚡️ — BREAKING: South Africa declared Israel’s deputy ambassador Ariel Seidman persona non grata and ordered him to leave the country within 72 hours.

🔴 The South African Foreign Ministry said the expulsion follows repeated official Israeli social media posts that insulted President Cyril Ramaphosa and a deliberate failure to inform South Africa of visits by Israeli officials.

🔴 Seidman is the most senior Israeli diplomatic figure in South Africa after Israel recalled its ambassador in 2023; South Africa accused him of “systematically” undermining diplomatic relations.

🔴 Relations were already severely strained after South Africa accused Israel of genocide at the International Court of Justice; Israel strongly denied the allegations, and the decision is likely to provoke a strong reaction from the United States.
