Israeli PM looks to relocate Gazans to another war-torn region

  • Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is reportedly in talks with South Sudan about resettling Palestinians from Gaza, aligning with US president Donald Trump's concept of "voluntary migration".
  • Multiple sources familiar with the matter have indicated that Israel is discussing the plan with the North African nation, though the progress of these talks remains uncertain.
  • The proposal to remove Gazans from their homeland has been widely rejected by Palestinians and human rights groups, who argue it violates international law.
  • A US-backed organisation, the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, is reportedly involved in a $2bn plan for "Humanitarian Transit Areas" for Palestinians, an operation the UN has deemed "inherently unsafe".
  • Gaza faces a severe humanitarian crisis, with most of its 2.3 million residents displaced, vast areas destroyed, and the territory on the brink of famine due to Israel's ongoing offensive.
