    This is the best summary I could come up with:

    “The South African government has decided to withdraw all of its diplomats in Tel Aviv for consultation,” Minister in the Presidency Khumbudzo Ntshavheni said on Monday in a news conference to announce the outcome of a cabinet meeting held November 1.

    A post on the Chadian presidency website Monday said that the decision to recall the senior diplomat for consultations was taken in “indignation” at the ongoing conflict.

    “Chad condemns the loss of human lives of many innocent civilians and calls for a ceasefire leading to a lasting solution to the Palestinian question,” the government spokesperson’s statement said regarding the conflict.

    South Africa and Chad are not the only nations to call their diplomats back from Israel since the Gaza conflict began.

    Turkey has recalled its ambassador to Israel for “consultations” due to the “unfolding humanitarian tragedy in Gaza” and continuing Israeli airstrikes, the Turkish foreign ministry said in a statement Saturday.

    CNN’s David McKenzie and Sarah Dean reported from South Africa and Joseph Ataman and Maya Szaniecki from Paris.
