Contributing sentiments towards policy:

71% : South Africa brought proceedings against Israel at the International Court of Justice at the end of 2023, accusing Israel of violating international laws on genocide during its war against Hamas in Gaza, something Israel vigorously denies.
41% : "What Donald Trump is launching is an assault on incumbency, those who are in power, by mobilising a supremacism against the incumbency, at home . . . and abroad," Rasool said in the online event hosted by South Africa's Mapungubwe Institute for Strategic Reflection.
39% : Rasool's expulsion is the latest episode in the rapid deterioration of relations between Washington and Pretoria since Trump took office.
32% : Last month, Trump froze foreign assistance to South Africa, partly in retaliation for the ICJ case as well as his complaints over Pretoria's land expropriation policies, which have angered the president and his South African-born billionaire adviser Elon Musk.
