The U.S. and Israel have reached out to officials of three East African governments to discuss using their territories as potential destinations for moving Palestinians uprooted from the Gaza Strip under President Donald Trump’s proposed postwar plan, American and Israeli officials told The Associated Press.
The contacts with Sudan, Somalia and the breakaway region of Somalia known as Somaliland reflect the determination by the U.S. and Israel to press ahead with a plan that has been widely condemned and raised serious legal and moral issues. Because all three places are poor, and in some cases wracked by violence, the proposal also casts doubt on Trump’s stated goal of resettling Gaza’s Palestinians in a “beautiful area.”
Officials from Sudan said they have rejected overtures from the U.S., while officials from Somalia and Somaliland told The Associated Press that they were not aware of any contacts...
The idea of a mass transfer of Palestinians was once considered a fantasy of Israel’s ultranationalist fringe. But since Trump presented the idea at a White House meeting last month, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has hailed it as a “ bold vision.”
Palestinians in Gaza have rejected the proposal and dismiss Israeli claims that the departures would be voluntary. Arab nations have expressed vehement opposition and offered an alternative reconstruction plan that would leave the Palestinians in place. Rights groups have said forcing or pressuring the Palestinians to leave could be a potential war crime.
Still, the White House says Trump “stands by his vision.”
Speaking on condition of anonymity to discuss a secret diplomatic initiative, U.S. and Israeli officials confirmed the contacts with Somalia and Somaliland, while the Americans confirmed Sudan as well. They said it was unclear how much progress the efforts made or at what level the discussions took place.

Well, at least it isn’t Madagascar.
Anyway, back to the point. "Might is right".
Can I sarcastically accuse you of being Antisemitic?
Zimbabwe sounds appropriate to me...
I have never seen anybody mention Mike is right and all my years on free republic
Might does not make right, but it does enforce the commonly recognized rights of each succeeding generation❤️
Who’s Mike?
They want to act like savages, they may as well live with the savages. The Cannibals will see the ever-screaming, perpetually complaining Palestinian Drama-Queen groups moving in and think; “There goes the neighborhood!”
Send them to South Africa.
This can work for the benefit of all involved.
Combining backward work-averse bloodthirsty savages with a culture striving to evolve beyond tribalism? I don’t envy the Africans who’d have to deal with the death-cult loonies.
(Who’s Mike?)
Mike Connors AKA Joe Mannix!
South Africa LOL
Somalia and the Pali’s deserve each other.
It would be easier for them to reside in Muslim Africa rather than Christian Africa. Somalia, Somaliland and Sudan are wiser choices.
We know Europe is Edom, and what the "broom of Israel" is by now, don't we? I still don't want them there, either.

Gaza is now at peace I believe.
The construction opportunies are amazing.
Nobody is using Africa anymore. Might as well give it to the Gazans.
In 1945, something like 89% of German urban housing was out of commission.
Chins begs to differ.
