South Africa kicks out Israel's top diplomat, Ariel Seidman, for "violating diplomatic norms", prompting Israel to retaliate by expelling South Africa's envoy, Shaun Edward Byneveldt.
The row stems from South Africa's genocide accusations against Israel at the ICJ, which Israel denies.
South Africa accused Seidman of attacking President Ramaphosa and inviting Israeli officials without permission.
Israel called the expulsion "unilateral and baseless", saying Byneveldt's expulsion is a response to South Africa's "false attacks"
