Le Monde: The African Union bans Israel permanently. Despite Israel's official ban from the African Union, the division over it has not been completely resolved.
Le Monde cites the vote of 7 African countries against the resolution calling for an immediate humanitarian truce in Gaza, at the United Nations, on October 27 last year. The judges of the International Court of Justice had ruled in favor of Pretoria, which at the end of December 2023 submitted a request accusing Israel of committing genocide against the Palestinians in Gaza.
