Genocide or self-defence: why South Africa’s case against Israel matters more than you think

South Africa’s genocide case against Israel has been described as a bold move and one that could make waves for South Africa and the broader international community. However, the US lambasted South Africa’s case, describing the allegations as unfounded. In this interview with Business Day, SAIIA’s Researcher Isabel Bosman says relations with the US ‘reached a fragile state of repair’ last year. She adds that South Africa remains a strategic ally for the US, mainly because of its connection to the BRICS countries.
