After the recent arrival of planes transporting families from Gaza, Minister of International Relations and Cooperation Ronald Lamola said that the undocumented families are being trafficked as a plan to remove Palestinians from their homeland of Gaza.

Last Thursday, a group of 153 Palestinians landed in the country on a chartered flight from Kenya. They were initially denied entry at OR Tambo International Airport due to missing documentation, including exit stamps from Israel, return tickets, and accommodation details.
