Israel in Talks With Five Nations on Possible Resettlement of Gazans

Background

by Emmitt Barry, with reporting from Worthy News Jerusalem Bureau Staff

(Worthy News) – Israel is engaged in discussions with five countries — Indonesia, Somaliland, Uganda, South Sudan, and Libya — over the potential voluntary resettlement of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, according to a report by Israel’s Channel 12.

A diplomatic source told the outlet that “some of the countries are showing greater openness than before to accepting voluntary immigration from the Gaza Strip,” with Indonesia and Somaliland named as particularly receptive. Somaliland, a self-declared independent region of Somalia, is reportedly seeking to leverage such an agreement to advance its bid for international recognition.

The report follows an Associated Press claim that Israel had discussed relocating Gazans to South Sudan — an assertion that Juba’s government swiftly dismissed as “baseless” and inconsistent with official policy.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated his support for the large-scale emigration of Gazans during an interview with i24 News on Tuesday night, describing it as a humanitarian and pragmatic solution. He noted that the idea has also been endorsed by U.S. President Donald Trump earlier this year.

“I think this is the most natural thing,” Netanyahu said. “All those who are concerned for the Palestinians and say they want to help the Palestinians should open their doors to them. What are you preaching to us for? We’re not pushing them out — we’re enabling them to leave… first of all, [leaving] combat zones, and also the Strip itself, if they want to.”

When asked why the process had not yet moved forward, Netanyahu replied, “You need receiving countries. We are talking to several countries — I won’t detail them here.”

If confirmed, such a resettlement arrangement would mark one of the most significant demographic shifts in Gaza’s modern history, potentially reshaping both the territory’s humanitarian landscape and the broader Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
