The U.S. and Israel, under Trump’s administration, are reportedly considering Syria for resettling Gazans. However, Syrian officials deny any contact regarding this proposal. Efforts to discuss relocation to African nations like Sudan and Somalia have also faced denial from Somali authorities regarding any U.S. approach.
Recent developments indicate a growing interest from the United States and Israel in Syria as a potential location for resettling Gazan citizens. The situation reportedly escalated after the Trump administration discussed the possibility of relocating Gazans through a third party contact with Syria. However, Syrian officials have publicly denied having received any inquiries from either the U.S. or Israel regarding this matter.
This proposal follows earlier attempts by the Trump administration to explore options for resettling Gazans in various African nations, such as Sudan and Somalia. Reports suggest that while the U.S. did make a suggestion to Syria’s new interim government, it remains unclear if any official response was given from the Syrian side.
Concerning the discussions about relocating Gazans to Somalia, Dahir Hassan, the Somali ambassador to the United States, stated, “neither the US administration nor Israeli authorities have approached the Somali government regarding any proposed relocation of Palestinians to Somalia”. He also warned that spreading such unverified information could inadvertently aid extremist groups, thereby intensifying regional security challenges. As for Sudan, the country has yet to respond to CBS’s request for comments on the matter.
In summary, both the United States and Israel are exploring Syria as a potential site for the relocation of Gazan citizens, following previous discussions about relocation to African nations like Sudan and Somalia. However, officials from Syria and Somalia have denied receiving any formal proposals from the U.S. or Israel, raising concerns that misinformation might pose security risks in the region.
