African governments deny they have been approached to take in Palestinians forced from Gaza

TWO African governments denied today that they had been approached by the United States and Israel to take in Palestinians they plan to forcibly remove from Gaza, while another claimed to have turned down the overtures.

The ethnic cleansing plan would call for Palestinians to be removed to Sudan, Somalia and the breakaway region of Somalia known as Somaliland.

Because all three places are poor and in some cases wracked by violence, the proposal also casts doubt on US President Donald Trump’s stated goal of deporting Gaza’s Palestinians to a “beautiful area.”
