The United States and Israel are close to African countries to resettle Ghazan

The United States and Israel contacted countries in East Africa about taking the Palestinians from Gaza, as part of President Donald Trump’s plan to expel the population from the war -torn pocket and build “Riviera in the Middle East”.

The people said that Israeli officials, led by the Minister of Strategic Affairs, Ron Dimer, had repelled the governments of Somalia and Sudan, the countries that the civil war is struggling, while American diplomats were in contact with the separatist Sumalland province.

One of them said that Israel was “in talks” with countries around the world, including in AfricaTake Gazan, although they warned that the talks “are not advanced at the present time.”

A US official informed him of Washington’s initial contacts headed by Somaliland that the discussions had started about a possible deal to recognize the real state in exchange for the establishment of a military base near the Berberra port on the Red Sea coast.

The person, who described the contacts as “the beginnings of a conversation”, said that Washington raised the possibility of transporting refugees from the United States and GazaAlthough this was not the most important part of the conversations.

They said that the African team in the Trump administration was not yet. “So that it is, these are very initial contacts,” the person said.

The Associated Press first reported communications with East Africa, all of which are mired in their civil conflicts and face high levels of poverty. This large -scale global opposition makes the transfer of large numbers of Palestinians unlikely.

The Israeli Prime Minister’s office refused to comment. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs referred to the previous comments made by the Middle East envoy from Trump Steve Wittakv, who said: “We are actually a participating in a fruitful conversation about what is better for Gaza, and how we can make people’s lives better.”

The idea of ​​transferring the majority of the 2 million people of Gaza was the shattered lands first Trump Last month, as part of his plan to take over the region 17 months after the conflict between Hamas and Israel.

The general vision, which it has widely condemned all over the world, has changed over and over the overlapping weeks. The American leader was not consistent with whether the Palestinians would be allowed to return to their homes in Gaza and whether it will deploy American forces.

At one time, a video created by artificial intelligence on social media that depicts the pocket as a tourist center filled with rhinoes and beach clubs.

Arab countries, European authorities and Palestinian leaders strongly rejected any step to remove the Palestinians. Sudan and Somalia are members of the Arab League, which also rejected any displacement.

“Gaza belongs to the Palestinians and will remain for the Palestinians. Somalia’s position has been registered well,” Somali official told the Financial Times.

On Wednesday, Trump seemed to retreat from further decline, and the White House journalists told “no one expels any Palestinians.”

The Arab countries saw that the plan poses a direct threat to their national security and the violation of international law. This opinion was kept strongly by Egypt and Jordan, which was first offered by the United States as possible resettlement sites for the Palestinians.

However, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu quickly seized Trump’s plan, describing it as “revolutionary” and “bold”, and pledged to implement it.

Last month, the Israeli Ministry of Defense established a director to encourage “volunteer immigration” to conquer the land, air and sea, but the person familiar with the matter was that no important steps were taken due to the lack of a country being ready to transport people.

According to the local health authorities, nearly 50,000 people were killed in Gaza by the fierce military attack of Israel after the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023 on Israel. Many lands have been reduced to the rubble.

The fragile ceasefire has ended for six weeks between Israel and Hamas this month, as international brokers by the United States now led the truce and secured the issuance of nearly 60 Israeli hostages.

The former British reserve of Somalland broke out from Somalia in 1991 after the fall of Paris in the fall of Somalia in the Civil War, but Somalia’s interest was not recognized as an independent country.

Analysts said that the Somalland government can be seduced by the possibility of recognizing the United States, but any deal that includes refugees in Ghazan can destabilize the real state of government and strengthen the hands of Islamic militants.

In an interview with Sky News Arabia last month, Somalia President Abdel Rahman Mohamed Abdullah Iro denied that his government was in discussions with the United States on resettlement of the Palestinians, and instead called for a solution with the consensus of the Arab countries.

“Any issue of this size requires a comprehensive dialogue,” he said.

“The new leadership in Hargisa (the capital of Somalland) realizes that public opinion will be very opposed to the inhabitants of Gaza,” said Matt Praiden, a African trumpet specialist.

“The Somalland government is ready to make huge sacrifices in seeking to achieve international recognition, but not necessarily at the expense of local stability and legitimacy.”

The person who briefed us with the United States with Somalland said that Washington had not approached Sudan or Somalia. They said, “The United States will conduct a complete review of our Somalia policy,” which may lead to finishing funding and closing the American embassy in Mogadishu. “So the idea that they are talking to them about anything important is laughing.”

Analysts said that a deal with Sudan was also doubtful, given that the country was carrying a civil war that forced the government to withdraw from the capital Khartoum to Port Sudan.
