South Africa has refused to receive further charter flights carrying Palestinians after a controversial arrival of 153 passengers from Gaza, citing suspicions of an Israeli 'cleansing agenda'. The flight, which was facilitated by an unregistered organization, was initially refused entry due to missing departure stamps in the passengers' passports. The South African government has launched an investigation into the matter, with Foreign Minister Ronald Lamola stating that the flight was part of a 'broader agenda to remove Palestinians from Palestine'. The incident has sparked tensions between South Africa and Israel, with South Africa having filed a case against Israel with the International Court of Justice accusing it of genocide in Gaza.

The UN Security Council has voted in favour of a US-drafted resolution endorsing US President Donald Trump's 20-point plan for Gaza, which includes the establishment of an International Stabilisation Force (ISF) and a transitional governance body called the Board of Peace (BoP). The resolution was backed by 13 countries, with Russia and China abstaining. Hamas has rejected the resolution, saying it fails to meet Palestinians' rights and demands. The plan aims to secure border areas, ensure the demilitarisation of Gaza, and oversee the reconstruction of Gaza and the delivery of humanitarian aid. The resolution references a credible pathway to Palestinian self-determination and statehood, which is opposed by Israel.

The article reports on the large quantities of aid for Gaza that are being held in Jordan and Egypt due to Israeli restrictions.
