South African authorities faced significant criticism after over 150 Palestinians, including a nine-month pregnant woman, were held on a charter plane for around 12 hours at Johannesburg’s O.R. Tambo International Airport due to travel document issues.Many passengers plan to seek asylum in South Africa, emphasizing that the country’s constitution guarantees this right.Following intervention from South Africa’s Ministry of Home Affairs, passengers were allowed to disembark, with accommodation offered by a local NGO, Gift of the Givers.
