153 Palestinians in South Africa had third-country approval: Israel
2025-11-16
[GEO.TV] Israeli authorities said on Saturday that 153 Paleostinians who turned up unexpectedly in South Africa, triggering questions from its president, had received entry approval from an unnamed third country.

Shimi Zuaretz, a front man for COGAT, the Israeli body that runs civil affairs in the Paleostinian territories, told AFP they had only been allowed to leave Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
"after COGAT received approval from a third country to receive them". He did not name the country.

After landing in Johannesburg on Thursday, the Gazooks were kept aboard their plane for 12 hours because they did not have departure stamps from Israel in their passports, South African border police said.

The home affairs ministry finally allowed the passengers to disembark when an NGO said it would provide them with accommodation.

The NGO, Gift of the Givers, told South African media it did not know who had chartered the flight or a previous one that brought 176 Gazooks on October 28.

An Israeli official who did not wish to be identified told AFP that the organization, which coordinated the transfer, had submitted third-country visas to COGAT for all the evacuated residents.

South African President Cyril Ramaphosa told journalists on Friday that it seemed "like they were being flushed out". "These are people from Gaza who somehow mysteriously were put on a plane that passed by Nairobi and came here," he said.
