US and Israeli officials have reached out to three East African countries to try to find a new place for Gazans to live, the Associated Press (AP) reported
On Friday morning, the AP reported, citing statements from US and Israeli officials, that the two countries had spoken with leaders of three East African nations.
The goal would be to find destinations for Gazans who want to emigrate.
The countries contacted were Sudan, Somalia and Somaliland, a region that broke away from Somalia.
Sudanese officials said “no” to the US proposal.
Somali and Somaliland leaders told the AP they were not aware of any such talks.
The idea was first mentioned by Donald Trump in February during a White House press conference alongside Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
Trump suggested that the United States could take control of Gaza and work to rebuild the region.
Arab countries have criticized the plan, but Netanyahu, in an interview with Fox News, praised Trump’s proposal.
He said: “This is the first good idea I’ve heard.
It’s an incredible idea.
I think it should be studied, implemented and done, because it could create a different future for everyone.” Still, Trump said he was in no rush to put the plan into action.
