"The paid forced deportation flights are the latest Israeli scheme in a long history of failed ethnic cleansing efforts. Earlier this week, a flight carrying 153 Palestinians from Gaza landed in South Africa without documentation. The passengers were stuck on the plane for 12 hours before the South African authorities, who claimed they had not been informed by Israelis about the deportation flight, allowed them to disembark on humanitarian grounds."
"The Palestinians on board had paid between $1,500 and $5,000 to a company called Al-Majd Europe to leave Gaza. The operation is run by a few Palestinians on the ground in coordination with the Israeli occupation authorities. At least two other such flights had already been made since June this year. This is the latest scheme Israel is deploying to depopulate Gaza a longstanding goal of its apartheid regime that goes back to the early 20th century."

These flights continue a pattern of efforts to depopulate Gaza tied to Zionist policies that endorsed displacement—cited figures include Theodor Herzl and David Ben-Gurion—and to the 1948 Nakba that expelled more than 700,000 Palestinians; post-1948 transfers also forcibly moved many Palestinians and Bedouins from the Naqab.
