The US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, said on Thursday that “South Africa’s genocide submission against Israel distracts the world from important efforts for peace and security,” according to Reuters.
The comments came after South Africa stated that Israeli assaults on Gaza since 7 October demonstrate clear and plausible examples of genocide.
