"Palestinians, especially those in the Gaza Strip, must be wary of networks that seek to remove them from their homes in line with Israeli interests, the Palestinian Authority's Ministry of Foreign Affairs has warned. The warning came a day after 153 Palestinians, who left Gaza without knowing their final destination and without proper paperwork, arrived in South Africa on board a flight from Kenya on Friday and were held up for 12 hours as authorities investigated the issue."
"South Africa, which is advancing a genocide case against Israel at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), gave the war-ravaged Palestinians 90-day visas. The Palestinian ministry on Saturday expressed deep appreciation for the support from the South African authorities and people, as well as the decision to grant temporary visas for the people who it said departed from Ramon airport in southern Israel."
Palestinian authorities warned that shadowy companies, unofficial entities and unregistered intermediaries are collaborating with Israeli interests to mislead and remove Palestinians from their homes. The warning followed the arrival of 153 Palestinians who left Gaza without proper paperwork and unaware of their final destination; they landed in South Africa after a flight from Kenya and were held for 12 hours while authorities investigated. South Africa granted 90-day temporary visas and is advancing a genocide case against Israel at the ICJ. The Palestinian embassy in Pretoria is assisting the travellers. The ministry urged civilians, especially in Gaza, to avoid human trafficking and agents of displacement.
