A wave of mysterious evacuations of Palestinians from Gaza is raising alarms. Reports say after South Africa, many Palestinians are now being sent to Indonesia and Malaysia under suspicious circumstances.
The operation is reportedly run by an Estonia-registered company owned by Tomer Yanar Lund, who holds dual Israeli and Estonian citizenship. Around 350 Palestinians were moved via three flights departing from Eilat Airport. They were first gathered at designated locations, passed through the Kerem Abu Salem crossing into Israeli-controlled areas, and then flown out from Ramon Airport after initial security checks.
Flight details were often shared just 24 hours before departure, with fees ranging from $1,400 to $2,700 per person—sometimes reaching $5,000 for faster processing. The company, operating under the website Al-Majd Europe, lists offices in Germany and East Jerusalem but is officially registered in Estonia with no visible contact info or partners.
The Palestinian Foreign Ministry has warned citizens against falling for deceptive offers by Israeli agents or suspicious companies. International observers and Arab media are concerned, as some Israeli officials have suggested relocation as a solution to Gaza’s crisis.
This operation is creating uncertainty and danger for civilians, while calls grow for urgent protection measures by local and international organizations.
