"LYING To My FACE!" Israel Accused of 'Cleansing' Gazans To South Africa | Ambassador Ebrahim Rasool
Israel is ethnically cleansing Gaza by flying Palestinians out of the country on bogus humanitarian flights, according to the South African government. Planes from Gaza have been landing in the country in mysterious circumstances - and Israel has not responded formally to the allegation. The nations have a strained relationship, with South Africa filing a formal genocide case against Israel at the ICJ. Joining Piers Morgan to discuss this further is former South African ambassador to the United States, Ebrahim Rasool and Israel-American journalist Emily Schrader.

South Africa's Irony on Genocide00:14:06
What are these planes?
Who is sending them?
I think it's ridiculous that South Africa is claiming that they didn't know about it.
You can't charter a plane without having those coordinates approved ahead of time.
They knew that this was happening.
The South African government would act in a way which morally compromises its position on the genocide, but not be party to the idea of an ethnic cleansing.
Do you really believe Donald Trump is a white supremacist?
I think he has mobilized that instinct.
I do find it highly ironic that someone who effectively is an Islamist supremacist is accusing someone else of being a white supremacist.
You don't know that.
I don't appreciate people who are lying.
They don't know me.
Who are lying to my friends?
When you get into that personal zone of calling me a liar, then I know that you are desperate for answers.
Israel is ethnically cleansing Gaza by flying Palestinians out of the country on bogus humanitarian flights.
That is the accusation made by the South African government after another plane from Gaza landed in the country in mysterious circumstances.
Israel hasn't responded formally to the allegation, but it has a strained relationship with South Africa already because it's filed a formal genocide case against Israel at the ICJ.
What will me to discuss that and more are Ebrahim Rasul, he's the former South African ambassador to the United States.
And no stranger to Uncensored, the Israeli-American journalist Emily Schrader.
Well, welcome to both of you.
Ebrahim, welcome to Uncensored, first time you've been on.
What's going on here?
What are these planes?
Who is sending them?
Do the people on them know where they're being sent?
Are they willing participants, do you think?
I'm not privy to the motives of the people who are on the plane, but I do think that we are beginning to uncover some Albanian connections to Israeli intelligence that have brought those planes.
They've not decanted the people in Nairobi, brought them straight to Johannesburg.
It was an idea to create a quandary for the South African government, and hopefully the South African government would act in a way which morally compromises its position on the genocide in Israel.
And I think the South African government, after considering it, decided, let us do the humanitarian thing, accept it, but not be party to the idea of an ethnic cleansing by being a recipient of people who will never be able to go back while Israel controls the country.
I'll come to Emily about this, but the argument against the charge of ethnic cleansing is these people have paid money to be on these planes willingly.
They may not know exactly where they're going, but they want to leave Gaza.
And the fact they're ending up in South Africa for them is good.
They want to leave Gaza.
That's not, when you're doing that voluntarily and you're paying for the pleasure of doing it, people would argue that's not ethnic cleansing.
That's a voluntary thing that you're doing.
I think that's why I'm not going into the motives of the people involved.
But I do go into the idea that people who voluntarily may want to leave a powder cake will never be allowed to get back.
And that, I think, is what is the suspicious matter about it.
Okay, Emily, interestingly, the Israeli military body COGAT, which controls Gaza crossings, said in a statement the residents left the Gaza Strip after Kogat received approval from a third country to receive them.
It didn't specify the name of the country, but actually yesterday or Monday, it did name South Africa as being that country.
So they're clearly saying South Africa knew about this.
They presumably agreed to receive these people.
Like I say, these people express a desire to leave Gaza.
What's your view of what's happened here?
Well, I think it's ridiculous that South Africa is claiming that they didn't know about it.
You can't charter a plane without having those coordinates approved ahead of time.
There was a connection in Kenya as well, so they knew that this was happening.
It doesn't, the associations with the Israeli government have not been proven in any capacity other than the fact they approved the exit of these people from Gaza.
And not only that, but the Prime Minister's office stated exclusively, explicitly, excuse me, that they are approving people to come in and to come out.
They should be allowed to leave if they want to leave, and they should be allowed to come back if they want to come back.
That is the policy.
And the reason that it's controversial now, especially in the eyes of South Africa, this isn't new.
There was another flight on October, I believe it was 29th, of another 100 Palestinians from Gaza.
But the reason that it's a controversy now is because the only other agency that was operating, which is Egyptian, has been shut down because they shut down the Rafah crossing.
So now, because they're going through Israel and because they're getting approval from Israel, South Africa doesn't want to accept them and they're looking for an excuse to blame Israel for something, despite the fact that in fact, these people are actually being moved out of harm's way.
They're paying their own way to exit the Gaza Strip and they will be allowed to return if that's what they so choose.
As Ebrahim said, you know, many people on these flights would categorize what they're fleeing as being a genocide.
South Africa has led the global allegation that Israel is committing a genocide in Gaza.
What's your response to that?
Well, I think obviously I object this classification, but I also think that it's highly ironic that South Africa is claiming that while at the same time claiming that they don't want to let in people who are allegedly fleeing a genocide.
So there's a lot of hypocrisy going around, especially when it comes to South Africa.
And we've seen that for a very long time when it comes to the Palestinian issue.
I mean, the life expectancy of Palestinians is greater than the life expectancy in South Africa.
So what they have going on in South Africa, they've got their own country graylisted for terror financing, of which Mr. Rasool here has actually been a part of those agencies.
A lot of what the flights that they've been bringing in just in the past two years, his colleague, Imtiaz Suleiman, actually brought in other highly skilled Gazans to South Africa.
Last year, he brought in 59 medical students and doctors to South Africa from the Gaza Strip specifically.
And when that happened, they bragged about it, how it was something humanitarian, and how these people were brought in from what's going on in Gaza.
Quick things.
Well, I'm going to let you respond now.
Let me just, for reviewers who know nothing about you, let me just point out you were the South African ambassador to the United States.
You were thrown out of the U.S. in mid-March 2025, earlier this year, for saying in a webinar that Donald Trump was mobilizing a supremacism in MAGA and trying to project white victimhood as a dog whistle.
In the early days of his second term, Trump, of course, called out South Africa for taking Israel to the ICJ with allegations of genocide in Gaza.
He froze all funding to South Africa and offered asylum to white Afrikaners while calling out the white, what he said was a white farmer genocide.
Marco Rubio accused you of hating the United States and President Trump and said the ambassador was no longer welcome in our great country.
So first of all, your response to that, to what happened to you?
I think I'll get to that.
Let me say that very few people were able to leave Gaza over the last two years.
Right.
And therefore, this idea of voluntary departure is a myth.
I think secondly, South Africa has never bought at receiving refugees.
We were the net greatest recipient of refugees from other African countries.
And Palestine is no exception.
There's no embarrassment for South Africa.
It was crossing the eyes and taught the T's.
I think on the issue of accusing Donald Trump of mobilizing, in my words, a supremacist instinct, I stand by it.
Because what else explains why he would accuse South Africa of a white genocide?
Everyone knows.
We covered that on this show.
I do not believe there was a white genocide.
No, sorry.
But Donald Trump doubles down on it.
And therefore, what other motive could he have than mobilizing white anxiety in South Africa?
What other motive explains that you have a net deportation of black and brown from the U.S. and a net importation of white Afrikaners into the U.S. ostensibly as refugees?
And so the point that I'm making is that there's no rational explanation except that there is an instinct at play and I called it a supremacist instinct.
I think I'm being proven right.
It's a pretty serious charge though to make against an American president that he's a white supremacist.
It's a serious charge, but the American president makes serious charges every day of his life.
And so therefore I think that you can't have such a thin skin that you dish it out and what is for me a badge of honor is that one ambassador out of almost 200 said something and it was heard in the Oval Office.
It hurt the Oval Office.
It pierced a very thin skin.
And I think that that, for me, is a badge of honor.
Do you really believe Donald Trump is a white supremacist?
I think he has mobilized that instinct in the U.S.
I think it's the same thing.
Because there are false supremacists you think he is.
No.
When he says there's a white genocide and he's proven wrong and he embarrasses or tries to embarrass our president with false evidence of it, shows pictures of the moment.
Johan Rupert and others, a major South African figure, you know, called out the truth and said that wasn't happening.
But then what explains that months later he doubles down on it and says, on that basis, I'm not going to the G20.
I'm not accepting the pun from you and so forth.
He can be wrong about it without himself being a white supremacist.
You never double down on a wrong even when your own advisors tell you and the world tells you.
Donald Trump often doubles down on things.
And therefore he has no right to double down on false success.
But it doesn't make him a white supremacist.
I think it does.
Really?
I think it's a serious thing to call somebody.
It is.
Because I am from a nation who was one of the last who stared down supremacism in South Africa.
I was put in jail by supremacists.
When I hear the dog whistle, I understand it.
And that, I think, is absolutely...
I'm not speaking from a theoretical basis.
I'm speaking from a lived experience.
No, I understand that.
And obviously there was white supremacy in South Africa.
And we saw that at the start of the...
And that white supremacy is ensconcing itself.
They have free access to the White House.
They have free access to give false evidence and they have free access to really influence a United States president to boycott the G20 on the basis of a false white genocide.
Well, it's probably not unconnected, Emily, to the fact that South Africa has been so strident about Israel, one of America's top allies, of course.
Trump has been working very hard to bring peace in the Middle East.
I think he deserves great credit for getting the hostages released and the current ceasefire and so on.
I'm sure these things are all interwoven as to why he has an antipathy towards the South African government.
He doesn't think they should have done that.
But on that charge of him being a white supremacist, what's your response to that?
I mean, I don't really have any comment about Donald Trump.
I don't know what his personal views are.
I don't care for him that much personally.
I don't agree with his policy on most of the Middle East, certainly not trying to make a deal with the Islamic Republic of Iran.
But I do find it highly ironic that someone who effectively is an Islamist supremacist is accusing someone else of being a white supremacist.
Mr. Rasool here is someone who has openly praised Yusuf al-Qawadawi, who of course is a financier or was a financier of Hamas, who openly supported terrorism and Hamas.
He has constantly affiliated himself with various figures who are involved with Hamas.
He has participated in his organization as well, has even co-hosted fundraisers with organizations that were funded and created by Karadawi, who I mentioned earlier, Suleiman, his colleague.
He also has done, not only brought Gazans to South Africa, but also has bragged about his associations with Hamas officials.
He's met with Islamic Jihad officials.
He has also posted publicly about how he has a kefiyah that's signed by Ismail Hania, the leader of Hamas.
And just several months before he was appointed to be the ambassador of the United States, he was meeting with a delegation of Muslim Brotherhood officials in South Africa about how to advance the Palestinian cause.
Now, given the fact that he has all of these associations with Hamas officials and with people who have funded Hamas, I would like to know, and I think the world deserves to know, what exactly he meant by supporting the Palestinian cause when meeting with those Muslim Brotherhood officials.
Let's give Mr. Rasul the chance to respond.
I think Emily has come here prepared to speak to a stereotype and not to Ibrahim Rasool.
No, I'm talking about your actual role.
Everyone who knows who I am would know that I was targeted by extremists because I stood against extremism.
Actually, your exact words were given you a perfect story.
You stated that Karadawi was your spiritual guide.
Those were your words.
You publicly posted it.
He's an important person in the Muslim world.
And so he's a very important person.
He said that the Jews deserved what Hitler did to him.
Do you agree with that?
I was at the 60th anniversary of Auschwitz mourning.
Do you agree with Karadawi's statement?
In the central synagogue of Cape Town, mourning with Jews.
In relation to the statements he has made of the kind Emily is saying, would you now disavow those statements?
No, I think that the point is that the Palestinian struggle is the litmus test of Western human rights.
Now you stated that Karadawi was your spiritual guide.
You have quoted out there.
Mr. Rasool.
You have said it's unconscionable.
You have said it's unacceptable.
You have said that starvation is a weapon of war.
Thank You Dr Fauci Film00:02:21
That's what is faced.
Mr. Rasool, is Karadawi your spiritual guide or not?
You also stated that your most memorable days.
You put it in writing.
You stated your most memorable days were with him.
And the same reason that you would see Netanyahu.
You praise Ismail Haniya.
Do you support Hamas?
He was the democratically elected president.
You participated in a fundraiser in which response was given to the Hamas Ministry of Health.
Let me ask you one question.
Do you condemn Hamas?

October 7th Terrorist Plan Steps00:13:31
I think that the killing of all innocent civilians is dastardly, should be condemned.
And whether it is from Sabrada in Shatila, whether it is on the 7th of October, whether it's on the 8th of October, I think that has to be the litmus.
And I'm not saying that...
So you would condemn Hamas.
I'm not saying that theoretically.
What I am saying is that that is what is taught to me by my faith.
Not just that, but just to be clear, you do condemned.
I condemn anyone.
Not anyone.
Do you condemn Jews?
I condemn the IDF for doing that.
I will condemn even Hamas soldiers for doing that.
I will do...
We even do that with anyone.
It wasn't like a general, who else do you condemn?
It's purely 7th.
I don't know how anyone...
We all have our favorite victims and we all have our favorite aggressors.
I draw the line across all people who violate a faith teaching of mine and who violate the way in which we conducted mostly our struggle in South Africa.
Do you think Israel had a right to defend itself after October the 7th?
Anyone has the right to defend itself?
Hamas would argue that they were defending himself against 70 years of the Nakba.
We cannot have a whole entire struggle based on reprisals and vengeance.
That is the great lesson that South Africa has taught.
We embraced to the extent that I served in the cabinet of the last apartheid police minister who put me in jail.
Vengeance is never the motive for going forward.
And when I speak, I speak on the basis of experience and the internal soul searching I've had to do to be able to reconcile with people who put me in jail, who killed comrades of mine on the battlefield.
I've mourned at many graves and I've had to overcome all of that to make the South African experiment work.
So when we spoke to our white community, everyone applauded.
When we speak to other aggressors in the world and say there is a better way, everyone says, how can you associate with them?
Why is it acceptable and laudable that we speak to our white oppressors and come to common terms, but you can speak to no one else to share the South African people?
But to avoid any ambiguity, when it comes to what Hamas did on October the 7th, you wouldn't argue that was self-defense or justified in any way.
I think that in the same way that a Nelson Mandela, right up till his 90th birthday in the USA, was on a terrorist list until he was taken off.
You're not really comparing Mandela to Hamas, surely.
I am saying that anyone who fights for freedom always believes that it has a morality.
Massacring people on a Jewish holiday inside of their homes and fighting women right now.
And who opposes that fight?
Can you just answer the question?
To condemn things.
So what I am saying is that I'm actually very, I mean, I'm stunned you've evoked the name of Nelson Mandela.
Nelson Mandela about what Hamas did.
Nelson Mandela is the litmus test of how long it takes a Western community to take a man off a terrorist list.
What we saw on October the 7th was not freedom fighting.
It was a grotesque act of mass terrorism.
And that's what I'm saying, that all such loss of innocent lives must be condemned.
But why can't you just condemn it on his own?
Why invoke Mandela's name?
No, because I'm saying that the same reasoning that Emily brings to it that those are terrorists and the IDF must have a terrorist.
You have decades of supporting, you have decades of involvement with.
You are a known Muslim Brotherhood affiliate.
You have participated in fundraisers that went directly to the Hamas Ram Ministry of Health.
In 1984.
Not in 1984.
Two weeks before October 7th.
You posted about Islamia raising.
Two weeks before October 7th.
To the liberation movement.
The South African government sent a delegation to the Islamic Republic of Neuron.
Emily, you don't know me.
I don't appreciate people who are lying.
You don't know me.
Who are lying to myself?
When I know.
And I will.
When I know that you have participated in fundraising.
As much as what you want to, and shouting that you're not going to be able to do it.
Your colleagues or associates are not.
What we are saying is that I had in 1984 already seen the limitations of an Islamist viewpoint.
We formed our own organization, the Call of Islam.
We affiliated to the liberation movement, the United Democratic Front, and to Archbishop Desmond Tutu's interfaith movement.
And that is the way in which we have carved out a democratic Islam.
That's how we participated in the struggle and in the transaction.
That's what we're talking about.
And so you are speaking to a stereotype, and I know that you're not.
No, I'm not.
I'm speaking about your statements in recent years on your side of the world.
I am saying that a lot of people are going to be able to do that.
You openly praised Haradawi recently.
You can hang out with the people who are going to be able to do it.
You can talk about 1984 all you want.
You're lying through your teeth.
The evidence is there for everyone to see.
That when you get into that personal zone of calling me a liar, then I know that you are desperate for answers.
What I am saying is you've got to judge me by what I have done.
You can go and ask your own people in South Africa, in the Jewish Board of Deputies, where have I stood?
When terrorist groupings in Cape Town bombing synagogues, I was the one as the leader of the ANC there, later as the premier, who had to understand that I needed to be the bulwark against extremism in the name of my religion, and I needed to put me on a terrorist.
And I've had to make sure that would you categorize what Hamas did on October the 7th as extremism?
I think it's any killing of innocents is extremism.
Sometimes extremism.
Do you believe that the victims of October 7th were in Master?
And sometimes extremism.
But is it justified if, as you put it, you're fighting for freedom?
Is it justified?
I think that there must be limits on the methodology of fighting for freedom, but there is no limits on the legitimacy for fighting for freedom and against occupation.
But then you're implying that what they did was legitimate.
I'm saying that in everyone who fights for freedom will justify.
We've had many tricks.
There was nothing legitimate about what Hamas did that day.
And there's nothing legitimate about what happened from October the 8th upwards.
You have said it yourself.
Well, it's unconscionable.
Yes, but what I've noticed.
It's not acceptable.
I know, but I should say that's a weapon of war.
Here's the difference.
I am completely unambiguous when it comes to what Hamas did and what that made them.
In that moment, they identify themselves as a terrorist organization.
That the innocent lives lost on October the 7th is unconscionable.
They are extreme.
Are they terrorists?
In the same way, I would say that you cannot have an elected government simply being called a terrorist government.
And they murdered 1200 people kidnapped, 250,000 people.
60,000 people murdered.
Yeah.
And starved to death.
As you know, as he referenced, I have been very critical.
I've been very critical about the proportionality of Israel's response.
However, I've never questioned their right to defend themselves.
You see, I've always been unequivocal that Hamas.
Let me tell you when South Africa launched its case against Israel in the ICJ for genocide.
We did not use our own imagination of what is a genocide.
We use the kind of work that the definition of genocide that was done after World War II and beautifully.
How many countries and Cuban?
Let me ask you a question.
How many countries and states ever have been convicted of waging a genocide?
We have had the genocide in Bosnia.
No, no.
We've had it.
I don't know.
Let me ask you what we have.
Let me ask you a question for you.
It's none.
No country or state has ever been found guilty of...
Individuals have been, and groups of people have been, not a country or a state.
So what South Africa was trying to matter.
Well, it doesn't matter to this.
It doesn't matter.
Listen.
If there is a genocide, it's based on a definition of genocide that was crafted by the survivors of the Holocaust.
That is the case that we are making in the ICJ.
I just think it's ridiculous that, first of all, you cannot admit that the people who were murdered on October 7th were completely innocent.
Number one.
Number two, you didn't say that.
You didn't say that Hamas is a terrorist organization.
And you know why?
Because two weeks before October 7th, you were posting on your social media talking about how Ismail Haniyya is a hero of the Palestinian people and bragging that you have a Qifiyah that's signed by Ismail Haniyah.
That's a genocide.
He was an elected prime minister.
It doesn't matter what kind of personal wage post something about Ismail Haniya praising him on social media.
And you talked about 1984 as if you've changed your limitations on the views of Islamism.
It's not true.
It's flat out not true because in 2019 you participated in a fundraiser gifted and giving of your friend Mtiya Suleimani.
I know you're in the middle of the day.
You participated in it with Hamas officials at this event.
And that money went directly to the Hamas.
Okay, so you've made that point forcefully.
I want to end by talking about where we are now in Israel.
There is a ceasefire.
The hostages have been released.
There is this 20-point plan which Donald Trump and his team have put forward, has been adopted by the United Nations.
Are you supportive of this plan?
Any plan that takes us towards peace, imperfect as it is, is a step in the right direction.
Whether it is a peace or a ceasefire, that's moot.
We will see as it goes.
Whether it is the demand for a surrender on the one side or whether it is a genuine coming together of arts that we will see.
And again, having lived through a transition and being in the leadership during a transition, we know that those are fraught with all kinds of dangers, even if you have perfect angels negotiating on both sides.
But at the end of the day, the best peace comes out of when opposing people speak to each other.
We need to see, the proof will be in the pudding.
And that, I think, is what is being awaited.
A ceasefire with incursions from Israel is not perfect, but I think at least we hope I've been in Amman, I've seen warehouses full of food, and if any of that food can simply move in, it will be an improvement.
We have seen the amount of deaths, thousands a day.
If only that even slowed down, it is important.
But I think we must end belligerence on all sides, and we must have a genuine and sincere effort for peace.
Okay, Emily.
I think that the peace plan is a positive step.
I hope that it's successful.
I definitely have my doubts.
And the primary reason for that is that we're talking about an international peacekeeping force, which, if we're looking at history, is very problematic, especially in the Middle East.
If you look at UNIFIL in Lebanon and UN Resolution 1559 and also 1701 that called for the disarmament of Hezbollah, they haven't been successful.
The Lebanese government has repeatedly failed to disarm Hezbollah.
It's a huge problem for the country that's ongoing.
And still, they're supposed to be being disarmed.
That's not happening.
And unfortunately, I think that's probably what we're going to see in the Gaza Strip as well.
And that's something that's unacceptable.
Hamas is a terrorist organization that, for the sake of both sides, needs to be destroyed, certainly disarmed and removed from power.
And they should have no role in the future governance of Gaza.
And that's going to be very, very difficult with an international peacekeeping force.
We haven't seen any country step up and say, yes, we're willing to actually force Hamas to disarm.
Certainly, Hamas has said they're not going to do that under any circumstances.
And so there's a lot still unknown, but it's definitely a step in the right direction.
The reason I've held off using the word genocide, I've categorized a lot of what I've been seeing as a form of ethnic cleansing, particularly when I hear Smodrich and Ben Gavir and these very far-right members of that government talking in openly ethnic cleansing manner about wanting to get rid of all Palestinians from the Gaza Strip.
But the reason I've held off is because if Israel was waging a genocide and that was their clear intention, as many believe they are, why would they do a ceasefire?
It's the one point that I think that they are also being frog marched to a ceasefire in the same way that Hamas is being frog marched to a ceasefire.
The belligerents in the war don't easily give up the weapon that they are.
But if they were genuinely wanting to get rid of all the Palestinians, I think that they wouldn't surely stop killing them.
They would carry on, wouldn't they?
I think it is carrying on.
That, I think, is unfortunate.
And every pretext allows an incursion.
And so that's why I'm saying that it's an imperfect one.
It's a step in the right.
It gives Britain.
And if Israel is being taken down a line away from genocide to a peaceful resolution, who would you credit with making them do that?
I think that there is fatigue.
I think that the influence that some of the Arab states have begun to exercise in conjunction with Donald Trump takes us into a point of view.
But it's a Trump plan.
It is the only plan that is on the table.
It brings relief, but it does not bring a solution because it does not end.
Imperfect Step Toward Peace Prize00:01:35
No, no.
The key question will be: will the peace be on the status quo ante, where things were, probably in 1967, or will it be the status quo as is, with Israel even retaining two-thirds of Ghaznava?
If it is a lasting peace, should Trump get the Nobel Peace Prize?
I don't think that I come from a country that has contributed four Nobel Peace laureates, and I think they all deserve it.
And they said he deserves one.
I don't think he does.
And yet you think he's brought Israel to heel and stopped the killing.
I'm not saying he's brought him to heel.
I've said he's frog marched together with the...
Whichever way you want to categorize it, if Trump has frog-marched Israel to peace, why would he not bring the Nobel Peace Prize?
