(Aug. 31, 2025 / JNS) Jewish Agency for Israel Chairman IDF Maj. Gen. (res.) Doron Almog recently postponed a visit to South Africa following an “assessment of the general situation,” a spokesperson confirmed to JNS on Sunday.

According to Kan Reshet Bet radio, the decision to cancel the trip came amid fears that Pretoria would issue an arrest warrant for the chairman.

The Jewish Agency “works around the world to strengthen the connection between Jewish communities and Israel. Jewish Agency envoys work routinely in 66 countries, and agency heads meet periodically with community leaders,” a spokeswoman told JNS.
