41% : South Africa has not had an ambassador to Israel for years, and further downgraded diplomatic ties after the start of the war in Gaza in 2023.
32% : Israel strongly rejects allegations of genocide in the war that began on October 7, 2023, when Hamas led a devastating cross-border assault, killing some 1,200 people and taking 251 hostages.
25% : The nation has in recent years become one of Israel's most vituperative critics, calling the Jewish nation an "apartheid state" and in 2023 filed a charge of "genocide" at the International Court of Justice over Israel's war against the Hamas terror group in Gaza.
14% : The Trump administration has accused South Africa of having an anti-American foreign policy over its court case against Israel, and South Africa's apparent support for the Palestinian cause has been at the center of a major diplomatic fallout with Washington since US President Donald Trump returned to office.
