South Africa Denies Entry to Palestinians, Sparks Outrage

South African authorities faced backlash for detaining over 150 Palestinian passengers for 12 hours at Johannesburgs O.R. Tambo International Airport due to travel document issues. The passengers, including a pregnant woman, were held in extremely hot conditions. They were eventually allowed to leave after the Ministry of Home Affairs intervened, with a local NGO offering accommodation. Many passengers now plan to seek asylum, sparking anger given South Africas support for Palestine. The Daily News Now! — Every city. Every story. AI-powered. Hosted on Acast.
