Associated Press: US and Israel are considering relocating Palestinians from

The United States and Israel have contacted officials in three East African countries to discuss the possibility of using their territories to relocate Palestinians from Gaza.

This is reported by the Associated Press, citing American and Israeli officials.

Officials from Sudan, Somalia and the breakaway region of Somaliland have been in contact about the proposal, the AP reported, citing US and Israeli officials as sources.

However, Sudanese officials said they rejected the US proposal and Somali officials said they were unaware of any contact.

The White House and State Department did not immediately respond to Reuters requests for comment. The information ministers of Somalia and the breakaway region of Somaliland did not return Reuters phone calls for comment.

Earlier this month, Arab leaders approved a $53 billion Egyptian plan to rebuild Gaza, which does not foresee the displacement of Palestinians from the enclave, in contrast to US President Donald Trump's vision of a "Middle Eastern riviera" . (A2 Televizion)
