Ad Kan's Gaza Evacuation: Humanitarian or Forced Exodus?

0:00It's March 16, here's your global news in two minutes. An Israeli group called Ad Khan has quietly organized at least three charter flights since May, helping hundreds of Palestinians leave Gaza for Indonesia and South Africa amid the ongoing war. The group worked through a company named Al-Majd, which presents itself as a humanitarian aid outfit for Muslim communities. Palestinians paid up to $2,000 each, be it bank transfers or cryptocurrency, often without knowing the final destination or who was really. Behind it, they were buzzed out of Gaza, searched in Israel, and flown out with just a few belongings. Many of those who fled, described two years of devastation, famine, and constant danger with no other escape options. Families said their priority was survival for their children, regardless of the organizers. Ad Khan's founder, Guilardach, a West Bank settler and reservist, has long pushed for Palestinian immigration from Gaza, calling it a path to Israeli, victory.

South Africa's foreign minister labeled the flights an attempt to clear up Palestinians, prompting the country to end visa exemptions for Palestinian, passport holders, ACCC insist the efforts are purely humanitarian, helping those who reached out, while critics argue the dire conditions make any departure.
