The South African government said on Monday it would recall all its diplomats from Israel to signal its concern over the situation in Gaza, APA reports citing AFP.
"The South African government has decided to withdraw all its diplomats in Tel Aviv for consultation," Khumbudzo Ntshavheni, a minister in the president's office, told a press briefing without providing further details.
"We are... extremely concerned at the continued killing of children and innocent civilians in the Palestinian territories and we believe the nature of response by Israel has become one of collective punishment," Pandor told a press conference on Monday, as she hosted her Ukrainian counterpart Dmytro Kuleba.
"We felt it important that we do signal the concern of South Africa while continuing to call for a comprehensive cessation (of hostilities)."
