A diplomatic conflict has erupted between South Africa and Israel, with Kenya caught in the middle, after a plane carrying 153 Palestinian passengers landed in Johannesburg after flying through Nairobi.

• South African President Cyril Ramaphosa claims South Africa did not clear the passengers for entry, calling their arrival "mysterious" due to a lack of proper documentation.
• The Palestinians were initially held for 10 hours at OR Tambo International Airport due to missing departure stamps and return tickets.
• The Israeli military body Cogat, which manages Gaza, is being blamed for the uncoordinated travel arrangements, with an official confirming that South Africa had approved their entry.
• This incident marks the second plane transporting Palestinians from Gaza to South Africa in two months, following an earlier flight with 176 passengers.
