The company Al\u2011Majd, which is apparently behind the flight that landed in Johannesburg carrying 153 Palestinians without documents, belongs, according to reports, to another company founded by an Israeli citizen with Estonian nationality. According to ynet, the company contacted the Migration Directorate at the Ministry of Defense, which transferred the details of the 153 Palestinians on the aircraft to the Government Activities in the Territories Coordinator Unit (COGAT).<\/p>\n

The Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported this week that Al\u2011Majd belongs to the company Talent Globus \u2014 which was founded by Israeli\u2011Estonian Tomer\u202fJanar\u202fLind. According to his LinkedIn profile, he currently works primarily in the Gulf states \u2014 the UAE and Qatar. The report states that Lind established another company involved in consultancy, allegedly based in Dubai.<\/p>\n

On Al\u2011Majd\u2019s website, aside from phone numbers of company representatives, there is no registered address or official telephone number; the site only states that its offices are located in the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood of East Jerusalem \u2014 a claim whose accuracy is unclear. An article on the Al Jazeera news site noted that the company\u2019s email address links to an automatic message declaring that the address is non\u2011existent.<\/p>\n

Additionally, the links on the website to Facebook or Instagram are non\u2011functional, and a DW investigation revealed that the \u201cDonate\u201d button also does not work. DW also stated that its review found that, since its founding, Al\u2011Majd has received only $106 in donations paid via cryptocurrency.<\/p>\n

‘I’m helping my people’<\/p>\n

A representative of Al\u2011Majd, identified on the site as \u201cOmar\u201d alongside his phone number, told the German site via WhatsApp chat that he is a Palestinian living in Jerusalem, but refused to give further details, including his surname, for fear of his security. He claimed that speculations linking the company to the Israeli government were spread by Hamas and the Palestinian Authority, which do not want Palestinians to leave the Strip.<\/p>\n

Omar said further that in facilitating people leaving Gaza via an Israeli airport, coordination with Israeli entities, including COGAT, is a matter of reality. \u201cI am helping my people in Gaza, and this is not migration,\u201d he said. \u201cI am helping people who want to live, not to die in the Strip.\u201d<\/p>\n

DW noted that Omar refused to answer \u201cmore challenging questions,\u201d such as his ties to Lind, how he made contact with international and Israeli firms, and why many of the links on Al\u2011Majd\u2019s website do not work. \u201cHe also did not explain the company\u2019s financing, and said he \u2018does not remember\u2019 how many Palestinians he helped exit Gaza,\u201d DW reported.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"The company Al\u2011Majd, which is apparently behind the flight that landed in Johannesburg carrying 153 Palestinians without documents,…\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":391273,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[99,50],"class_list":{"0":"post-391272","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","5":"has-post-thumbnail","7":"category-news","8":"tag-israel","9":"tag-news"},"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/pubeurope.com\/@us\/115579729925430157","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/391272","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=391272"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/391272\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/391273"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=391272"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=391272"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.europesays.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=391272"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
