The
foreign ministry expressed "grave concern" about occupation forces,
as well as South African nationals, joining or considering joining the IOF to
fight in Gaza.
"Such
actions could potentially contribute to the violation of international law and
the commission of further international crimes, making them liable for
prosecution in South Africa," the ministry stated, according to Israeli
media sources.
It
added that any of its citizens who have enlisted could face the risk of prosecution
for international crimes and even be stripped of their citizenship if acquired
through naturalization.
The
foreign ministry didn’t specify how many South Africans are thought to have
enlisted, but the government previously mentioned that the
State Security Agency (SSA) was tracking them down.
