The U.S. and Israel have reached out to officials of three East African governments to discuss using their territories as potential destinations for resettling Palestinians uprooted from the Gaza Strip under President Donald Trumps proposed postwar plan, American and Israeli officials told The Associated Press.
The contacts with Sudan, Somalia and the breakaway region of Somalia known as Somaliland reflect the determination by the U.S. and Israel to press ahead with a plan that has been widely condemned and raised serious legal and moral issues. Because all three places are poor, and in some cases wracked by violence, the proposal also casts doubt on Trumps stated goal of resettling Gazas Palestinians in a beautiful area.
Officials from Sudan said they have rejected overtures from the U.S., while officials from Somalia and Somaliland told The Associated Press that they were not aware of any contacts.

While Palestinians are not embraced by the other Arab states, their rights may well be defended by other countries.

As for Arab states, their monarchs and tyrant rulers are beholden to the US. However their people are on the side of the Palestinians - making for a very turbulent dynamic now in the ME.

It would further destabilize the target countries, never this being a crime against humanity.
