A Democratic Alliance mayoral candidate in Durban said he would welcome Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the city despite an International Criminal Court arrest warrant against him, Middle East Eye reported. Haniff Hoosen made the statement as South Africa, an ICC member state, faces legal obligations regarding the warrant issued for Netanyahu.
The position marks a divergence within South African politics over how to handle Netanyahu's potential visit, with implications for the country's international legal commitments.
