South Africa Expels Israeli Deputy Ambassador Over Offensive Social Media Posts
South Africa has taken the decision to declare Israel's deputy ambassador persona non grata and has instructed him to leave the country within 72 hours. The South African Foreign Ministry cited offensive social media posts directed at President Cyril Ramaphosa as the reason for expelling Ariel Seidman, the charge d'affaires at the Israeli embassy. This move comes as a response to what South Africa perceives as disrespectful behavior towards its leader.
