South Africa accepts plane of Palestinians 'flushed out' of Gaza

A plane carrying 153 Palestinians arrived in South Africa under what President Cyril Ramaphosa called "mysterious" circumstances, prompting an investigation. The passengers, who Ramaphosa said were apparently "flushed out" of Gaza, were initially detained over passport issues but were eventually allowed entry on compassionate grounds. The flight was reportedly facilitated by a controversial agency in coordination with the Israeli military, which the Palestinian embassy in South Africa described as a deceptive organization exploiting the humanitarian crisis. This incident has amplified existing fears that Israel's ultimate goal is the permanent displacement of the Palestinian population from Gaza.
