South Africa recalls its ambassador

By AMIR MIZROCH


Flotilla affair leads to further diplomatic fallout.

South Africa on Thursday announced that it was recalling its ambassador to Israel for consultations over the Gaza flotilla incident earlier this week.

SA embassy spokesman Judika Tladi told The Jerusalem Post that ambassador Ismael Coovadia was being recalled to Pretoria for consultations so that the government can get a "better understanding" of what happened off the Gaza coast and its implications. He could not say when Coovadia, who was leaving the country this weekend,  would return to Israel.
