In April, Israeli newspaper Haaretz reported that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu tasked his international affairs adviser, Caroline Glick, with advancing plans to relocate Palestinians, including contacts with the breakaway region of Somaliland and the Democratic Republic of the Congo, though those efforts yielded no results.
Channel 12 also reported in December 2025 that the security establishment had presented the government with a plan to relocate Palestinians from Gaza by land, sea, and air, while contacts with several countries failed to produce any agreement.
Israel has repeatedly framed the displacement of Palestinians under the concept of “voluntary migration,” while the ongoing war, widespread destruction, and tightened blockade in Gaza have drawn repeated warnings from the Palestinian Authority, Hamas, and Arab states against forced displacement.
Israel’s genocide in Gaza since October 2023 has killed over 73,000 people, wounded over 173,000 and caused massive destruction to about 90 percent of the enclave’s infrastructure.
