Israel closely coordinated Gaza families’ mystery transit to South Africa
- Details are slowly emerging of a controversial Gaza-South Africa transit scheme run by a nonprofit, through which activists say Israel is encouraging the displacement of Palestinians out of Gaza by helping them settle in other countries.
- Displaced Palestinians are reeling after heavy rains flooded their tents in makeshift displacement camps in Gaza City, as the United Nations warns that Israeli restrictions on aid have left hundreds of thousands of families without adequate shelter.
- The United States has called on the UN Security Council to officially back its draft resolution aimed at bolstering President Donald Trump’s Gaza peace plan, warning that Palestinians could suffer “grave consequences” if it does not.
- Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 69,187 Palestinians and wounded 170,703 since October 2023. A total of 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led attacks, and about 200 were taken captive.
