The United States and the Israeli occupation are reportedly plotting to resettle Palestinians from Gaza in Syria, Sudan, and Somalia.

The United States and the Israeli occupation have approached the governments of Sudan and Somalia and have also shown interest in Syria as a potential location to resettle Palestinians from Gaza, according to a CBS News report citing informed sources.

Three sources familiar with the efforts stated that the Trump administration and the Israeli regime explored these countries as part of broader discussions on ending the Israeli war of aggression on Gaza and rebuilding the Palestinian territory.

Two diplomatic sources confirmed to CBS News that Israeli and American officials had reached out to Sudan and Somalia regarding the resettlement plan. Additionally, three sources said that the Trump administration and the Israeli occupation were also interested in Syria.

One source familiar with the administration’s Middle East policy stated that it attempted to contact Syria’s new interim government through a mediator. Another regional source told CBS News that outreach to the Syrian government had occurred, but it remains unclear whether Damascus responded.

A senior Syrian official, however, denied any knowledge of such communications, telling CBS News that there had been no contact from either party regarding the resettlement of Gaza’s population.

No one to be expelled?

US President Donald Trump stated on Wednesday that "no one will be expelled from Gaza," emphasizing that "no one is forcing the residents of the Strip to leave," in a serious reversal on his staunch support for ethnically cleansing the Palestinian territory.

Trump added that serious efforts are underway in cooperation with the Israeli occupation to resolve the crisis in Gaza.

This statement marks a clear retreat from his earlier proposal to expel Palestinians from Gaza and turn the territory into what he described as the "Riviera of the Middle East," a suggestion that faced widespread rejection both regionally and internationally.

Trump made these remarks during a meeting with Irish Prime Minister Micheal Martin in Washington, where they discussed the situation in Gaza.

Following the meeting, Martin stated, "We want the release of prisoners and peace in Gaza," stressing the need to establish a ceasefire amid international mediation efforts to advance the second phase of the truce agreement between Hamas and the Israeli regime.

Trump threatens Gazans with 'death'

Trump told the Palestinian Resistance Movement Hamas a week earlier that he would authorize fresh Israeli strikes on Gaza unless the group frees the remaining Israeli captives.

Trump's ultimatum came during direct discussions in Doha between his envoy for captive matters, Adam Boehler, and Hamas leaders in an attempt to achieve a fresh Gaza ceasefire and prisoner exchange agreement. 

Trump gave the ultimatum after meeting with six captives freed as part of the first phase of the ceasefire agreement.

A senior Hamas official told Al Mayadeen that the recent meeting left the American side with a "positive impression" regarding the possibility of negotiations with the group. 

However, the official noted that the US envoy focused solely on a potential prisoner exchange and did not address broader issues, such as a ceasefire or an end to the war on Gaza.
