The fact that this operation is happening through Ramon Airport under such opaque circumstances raises serious questions about long term intentions. Osama Al Sharif's analysis about the lack of garantees for return is especially troubling.

The involvement of South Africa, given their genocide case at the ICJ, adds another layer of complexity that realy needs more transparency.
