The U.S. and Israel have reached out to officials in Sudan, Somalia, and Somaliland to discuss resettling Palestinians from Gaza in East African countries, according to U.S. and Israeli officials. Sudan officials have rejected the proposal, while officials from Somalia and Somaliland claim to be unaware of any contacts. This comes after Arab leaders adopted a $53 billion Egyptian reconstruction plan for Gaza that aims to avoid displacing Palestinians, in contrast to President Trump's vision of permanently displacing them. Trump's plan was met with international rejection.
