South Africa Expels Top Israeli Diplomat Following Criticism of President

South Africa expelled Israel's chargé d'affaires, Ariel Seidman, after what it described as "insulting attacks" on President Cyril Ramaphosa. Seidman was declared persona non grata and given 72 hours to leave the country, according to The Guardian. The expulsion marks a further deterioration in relations between South Africa and Israel, who have long been at odds over South Africa's support of the Palestinian cause.

The diplomatic action followed remarks made by Seidman on social media, the content of which prompted the South African government to take action. While the specific details of the remarks were not disclosed, they were deemed offensive enough to warrant the expulsion.

This expulsion comes amid already strained relations. South Africa has been a vocal supporter of the Palestinian cause, a stance that has created friction with Israel. The tit-for-tat expulsion saw Israel respond in kind, expelling a South African diplomat.

Warsh's selection, despite Bessent leading the vetting process, could haunt both Bessent and Trump if Warsh's policies deviate from expectations.

This situation, exacerbated by factors such as declining confidence in vaccines, puts the U.S.'s ability to contain measles to the test, with the Pan American Health Organization potentially revoking the elimination designation if continuous transmission chains persist beyond January 2025.
