South Africa on Tuesday through parliament passed a special motion to cut ties with Israel.
President Cyril Ramaphosa got the nod to proceed with the move, with an overwhelming majority vote across the political divide.
South Africa has accused Israel of committing war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza and West
Bank.
What began with an attack by Hamas on Israel on 7th October has evolved into a full blown war, Israel through prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowing to crush and permanently annihilate Hamas, a militant group.
The US and other Western countries have pronounced and pledged their support to Israel unconditionally saying Israel has a right to defend itself.
South Africa further wants the International Criminal Court, ICC to investigate the alleged crimes committed by Israel against the Palestinians.
Sources close to either sides of the war have intimated that a truce is almost being reached, the deal being to have Hamas free hostages and Israel suspends it's offensive for 5 days.
