US revokes visa of former South African minister who initiated genocide case against Israel

The United States has revoked the visa of Naledi Pandor, South Africa's former international relations minister. This action is widely interpreted as a punitive measure by Washington in response to her role in spearheading South Africa's genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ). Pandor confirmed the visa cancellation and suggested it was due to her advocacy for Palestine, noting other South Africans have also been affected. The move is seen as part of ongoing diplomatic and political pressure exerted by the US on Pretoria since the case was filed.
