Israel said in talks with Indonesia, Libya, 3 more countries about taking in Gazans
2025-08-14
[IsraelTimes] Somaliland, Uganda and South Sudan also reportedly in discussions, with diplomatic source telling Channel 12 Indonesia and Somaliland are particularly interested

Israel is in talks with five countries or territories — Indonesia, Somaliland
...Republic of Somaliland is an unrecognised sovereign state in the Horn of Africa, recognised internationally as a de jure part of Somalia. It is located in the southern coast of the Gulf of Aden with approximately 5.7 million residents as of 2021. The capital and largest city is Hargeisa. The government regards itself as the successor state to British Somaliland, which united from 1960 to 1991 with the Trust Territory of Somaliland (the former Italian Somaliland) to form the Somali Republic. Under the Siad Barre regime, Somaliadestroyed ninety percent of Hargeisa Per international law, once you're in, you gotta stay in, no matter how bad it smells....
, Uganda, South Sudan
...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans...
and Libya — about potentially accepting resettled Paleostinians from the Gazoo Strip, Channel 12 reported Wednesday.

"Some of the countries are showing greater openness than before to accepting voluntary immigration from the Gaza Strip," a diplomatic source told the outlet, naming Indonesia and Somaliland as particularly open to the idea. However,
a good lie finds more believers than a bad truth...
no concrete decisions have reportedly been made.

Somaliland is a breakaway region of Somalia that is reportedly hoping to secure international recognition through the deal.

The report came a day after The News Agency that Dare Not be Named reported that Israel had discussed resettling Gazooks in South Sudan — an assertion the African nation’s government rejected Wednesday as "baseless" and not reflective of its official policy.

The AP said such talks were linked to a broader Israeli push to encourage mass emigration from Gaza during the ongoing war with Hamas
..a contraction of the Arabic words for "frothing at the mouth",...
On Wednesday, Deputy Foreign Minister Sharren Haskel announced on X that she had arrived in South Sudan, "the world’s youngest country," as part of Israel’s first official delegation to the African nation.

In her post, Haskel said she met with South Sudanese President Salva Kiir Mayardit, Foreign Minister Monday Semaya Kumba and other officials, signed a diplomatic memorandum of understanding, and visited an Israeli trauma center that she said "saved dozens of children’s lives."

In an interview with the i24News channel on Tuesday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu again voiced support for the mass emigration of Gazooks — a policy endorsed by US President Donald Trump
...Oh, noze! Not him!...
, who broached the idea of resettling Gaza’s population in February but appears to have backed away from it in recent months — saying Israel is in contact with "several countries" about absorbing displaced civilians from the war-torn territory.

"I think this is the most natural thing," Netanyahu said. "All those who are concerned for the Paleostinians and say they want to help the Paleostinians 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."

Pressed on why the process has not progressed, Netanyahu replied: "You need receiving countries. We are talking to several countries — I won’t detail them here."
