EFF WILL ARREST NETANYAHU

South Africa’s Economic Freedom Fighters President Julius Malema announced on 25 November that the party would follow through on the International Criminal Court (ICC) arrest warrant for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he sets foot in South Africa.

@Julius_S_Malema (X) held South African President Cyril Ramaphosa’s feet to the fire, asking him to clarify whether he would arrest the Israeli leader, given he claimed Ramaphosa was willing to do so on an ICC warrant against Russian President Vladimir Putin had he visited the country for a 2023 BRICS meeting.

To his credit, Ramaphosa’s administration is the party responsible for kickstarting International Court of Justice (ICJ) proceedings in December 2023 against Israel for violating the UN G*nocide Convention in Gaza. Israel's military onslaught had k*lled more than 186,000 Palestinians as of early July, according to the medical journal Lancet.
