Recent developments indicate a growing tension between South Africa and the United States, amidst South Africa's apparent shift towards an anti-US stance. This shift has been highlighted by Pretoria's efforts to bring Israel to the International Court of Justice (ICJ), an action the Wall Street Journal (WSJ) describes as a hostile act against a US ally. In response to these developments, South Africa has been working to reaffirm its ties with the US, especially as lawmakers in Washington consider a bill aimed at reviewing the bilateral relationship between the two nations in light of these geopolitical differences.
