The U.S. and Israel have proposed relocating Gazans to Syria, following previous attempts to settle them in African nations. While plans were suggested through a third party, Syrian officials deny any contact. Somalia has also refuted similar claims regarding the relocation of Palestinians. Concerns over unverified information fostering extremism have been raised.
The United States and Israel have reportedly pursued a plan to resettle Gazan citizens in Syria, according to CBS News. This plan gained traction following attempts by the Trump administration to place Gazans in African nations, such as Sudan and Somalia. The U.S. allegedly proposed this relocation to Syria’s interim government through third-party contact, but it remains unclear if a response was made by Syrian officials.
While discussions have emerged regarding the relocation of Palestinians, sources from Somalia indicate that there have been no official approaches from the U.S. or Israel about moving Gazans there. Dahir Hassan, Somalia’s ambassador to the U.S., expressed concern that containing unverified information could fuel extremist recruitment, posing a further threat to regional security. Sudan has also been approached for comments but did not provide a response.
The proposed resettlement of Gazans by the U.S. and Israel has not received confirmation from Syria or Somalia, raising questions about the feasibility of such plans. The dissemination of unverified information could lead to political and security complications in the region, according to local officials.
