A US Congress Bill has called for a full review of relations between Washington and Pretoria, accusing South Africa of having close relations with Hamas, Beijing, Moscow and Tehran.
The bill also expressed discomfort with Pretoria increasingly strengthening its relations with Russia, Palestine, China and Iran.
The bill calls on President Biden, the US Agency for International Development, the US Secretary of Defence, the US Ambassador to South Africa, and the heads of other departments to conduct a comprehensive review of US-South Africa relations.
Naledi Pandor, minister of international relations and cooperation of South Africa, has expressed that the situation is unfortunate, saying, “This is their democratic right to do. I believe we have a valuable and good relationship in trade and people-to-people exchange, and I don’t see why that should be harmed.”
Just recently, the International Court of Justice(ICJ) ruled majority in favour of South Africa’s genocide case against Israel.Ā The USA was one of the countries to be in support of Israel and against South Africa, bringing the case to the ICJ.
