Israel Said in Talks with Indonesia, Libya, Others about Taking Gazans
(Times of Israel) Israel is in talks with Indonesia, Somaliland, Uganda, and Libya about potentially accepting resettled Palestinians from Gaza, Israel's Channel 12 reported Wednesday. "Some of the countries are showing greater openness than before to accepting voluntary immigration from Gaza," a diplomatic source said. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told i24News on Tuesday that Israel is in contact with "several countries" about absorbing displaced Gazan civilians. "I think this is the most natural thing. All those who are concerned for the Palestinians and say they want to help the Palestinians should open their doors to them. What are you preaching to us for? We're not pushing them out - we're enabling them to leave...first of all, [leaving] combat zones, and also the Strip itself, if they want to."
