US EditionAP finds an Israeli group discreetly organized the mystery flights evacuating Palestinians from Gaza
An Israeli group linked to Ad Kan covertly arranged flights for Palestinians from Gaza to South Africa and Indonesia, with passengers paying up to $2,000 each, raising concerns over intentions.
- Since May, the Israeli group Ad Kan has organized at least three flights transporting Gaza residents to Indonesia and South Africa, an AP investigation found.
- Ad Kan's founder, Gilad Ach, supported President Donald Trump's "voluntary" migration proposal and used the front company Al-Majd to distance the group from Israel during operations.
- Passengers paid up to $2,000 per person through bank and cryptocurrency transfers; businessman Moti Kahana rejected a $750,000 contract with Ad Kan after the group changed the destination to South Africa.
- Following a November flight, South African Foreign Minister Ronald Lamola revoked 90-day visa exemptions for Palestinian passport holders, citing "deliberate and ongoing abuse" by Israelis linked to emigration efforts.
- Critics argue that war conditions force Palestinians into "voluntary" migration, while far-right Israeli groups within Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's coalition continue supporting efforts to remove Gaza residents to potentially resettle the area.
