(ZEROHEDGE) – Many American, British, European and other foreign-born men and women have long served in the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), and often they are dual citizens. As an example, earlier this week Israel announced the death of 19-year old Sgt. Itay Chen, a dual US-Israeli citizen who had been serving in the IDF, at the hands of Hamas.
But South Africa, which brought an International Criminal Court (ICC) case against Israel over allegations of genocide against Palestinians, has issued a new declaration forbidding its citizens from joining or assisting in any way with the Israeli military.
South Africa’s foreign minister Naledi Pandor has said South Africans face arrest upon their return home of they fight in the Israel Defense Force (IDF) or assist as part of a paramilitary unit.
