New details have emerged about a network involved in organising the departure of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to several countries overseas, including Malaysia, Indonesia and South Africa. Evidence reviewed by investigators indicates that a settler-linked organisation called Ad Kan played a central role in arranging the flights, which transported hundreds of Palestinians out of the besieged enclave while a genocidal war continues to devastate the territory.

Documents cited in the inquiry suggest that roughly 380 Palestinians were moved through a process allegedly coordinated by individuals connected to Israeli military structures who were said to be operating through a private company. Those who travelled said they had little knowledge of who organised the departures, explaining that their primary aim was to escape the catastrophic conditions produced by the ongoing genocidal war in Gaza. Some passengers were reportedly asked to sign documents committing not to return to the territory.

Officials in South Africa reacted sharply to the revelations, condemning the transfers and warning that such measures resemble forced displacement affecting Palestinians from both the Gaza Strip and the occupied West Bank. According to the findings, buses carrying Palestinians were escorted from Gaza to the Kerem Shalom Crossing before continuing to Ramon Airport in southern Israel, from where flights departed for destinations abroad.

The issue has resurfaced as renewed debate emerges around proposals labelled “voluntary migration” from Gaza, an idea previously discussed during the administration of Donald Trump. Critics argue that initiatives encouraging departures during a genocidal war blur the line between voluntary relocation and displacement driven by unbearable living conditions. The investigation raises wider concerns about the role of ideological settler networks in shaping policies that directly affect the future of Palestinians living under siege.
