It was reported that SA hit the pause button on normalizing relations with Israel last month - so I don't think this was directly the result of the Hamas attacks, or Israel's response. Although, they have been pretty clear throughout the process that it hinged on peace between Israel and Palestine, so either way not much of a surprise.

Hamas have fucked themselves going after civilians though - that's dried up most of the sympathy people had for the plight of Palestinians. The pro Palestine rallies haven't done much to improve their image either.
