The United States has deported eight Palestinians to the Israeli-occupied West Bank via a private jet, a process described as “highly unusual” by security officials. The individuals, who reportedly arrived on a Gulfstream IV jet chartered by US authorities, were transferred directly to Israeli officials upon landing. This operation followed a rare request from Washington and was approved by Israel’s Shin Bet after determining the deportees posed no security threat. The chartered flight, estimated to cost around $300,000, has raised questions about the motivations behind this unusual deportation method.
