The Foreign Minister of South Africa, Naledi Pandor, says that Israeli intelligence has tried to scare her after the Gaza case at the International Court of Justice. This was reported by the local media.
Ms Pandor said she was worried about her family’s safety because people were targeting her on social media.
The minister talked to Police Minister Bheki Cele about increasing her protection because she got scary messages.
“The Israeli agents and intelligence services are trying to scare us, but we should not let them intimidate us. ” “There is a reason why it’s happening,” she said.
Israel has not said anything about the minister’s comments yet.
The ICJ told Israel to do things to stop killing Palestinians in Gaza and report back in a month.
South Africa took Israel to court because they believed Israel broke the rules about how people should be treated in the conflict.
Ms Pandor said the government is committed to making sure the ICJ case is completed.
She made these comments a few days after President Cyril Ramaphosa talked about a potential campaign to resist South Africa’s actions following the ICJ ruling.
