On November 21, the South African Parliament voted to cut diplomatic ties with Israel over the war in Gaza. The fighting was ignited October 7, when Hamas fighters crossed into Israel, killed 1,200 people, and took as hostages 250 others, including babies and toddlers.
The deadly Hamas incursion caught Israel flat-footed. It took the Israel Defence Forces an incredible 12 hours to respond to the massacres going on in their county.
