South Africa's Foreign Minister Naledi Pandor has accused Israeli intelligence of trying to intimidate her following the Gaza case at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), local media report.

Pandor on Thursday told the Mail & Guardian news website that she was concerned about the safety of her family after having been targeted on social media.

The minister said she had spoken to Police Minister Bheki Cele about beefing up her security after she received threatening messages.

"The Israeli agents, the intelligence services, this is how they behave, and they seek to intimidate you, so we must not be intimidated. There is a cause that is under way,” she said.

Israel is yet to comment on the minister’s remarks.
