> “It could be between Congo and Gazans, but Israel is not conducting any talks with any country on this issue,” the official continued. “I don’t want to say it’s fake, but it can’t be through us since we have no connection to it. [The Congolese] can talk to the Gazans and ask them to move to Congo.”
Seems like the report was false.
I mean I don’t know what you expected. The options are
1) Israel was actually doing it, but they’re not just going to announce the ethnic cleansing to the world before they do it, just after.
2) Israel was not actually doing it and is obviously going to deny them because they actually aren’t doing it.
Seems to me something like this has happened before.
TBH I wouldn’t put it past certain ultra-right wing members of the coalition like Smotrich or Ben-Gvir or one of their underlings to start these kinds of negotiations behind the cabinet’s back. They’ve gone rogue plenty of times before.
And the torch, as they say, has been passed. Or is toast. Whatever ot goes like.
This was also from the article if anyone wants to be bothered to read it.
> Last Monday, Netanyahu told a Likud faction meeting that he was working to facilitate the voluntary migration of Gazans to other countries.
> “Our problem is [finding] countries that are willing to absorb Gazans, and we are working on it,” he said.
It always seemed a bit farfetched because:
(A) While the DR Congo President is very sympathetic to Israel, his country is entirely dependent on the EU (especially France and Belgium), the US, and UN for development support to keep the lights on and realistically he couldn’t agree to this plan without them green-lighting it. The DR Congo would also need a substantial payoff from Israel to offset the risk of NGOs decreasing support to the country in protest. I don’t know what the price per-head would have to be but it wouldn’t be cheap
(B) how do you even forcibly move substantial amounts of people? Plane load after plane load with armed guards on board? Would countries necessarily even allow you to use their airspace for that? You would probably need to use ships but the added length seems to increase the risk of something going wrong
That said, the original report was from the Times of Israel so not a source that would typically exaggerate to make Israel seem bad
Interestingly enough, it was the same exact newspaper (Times of Israel) that reported yesterday that Israel was in talks with the Congo on taking in Gazan refugees.

There is only a single solution. It does not involve finding a place for Gazans to immigrate.
Hint: it’s a two state solution.
Why western countries get so afraid about Gazans immigrating by free choice? I though diversity is our strength
Wait hold up, why would anyone care tho?
If the immigrants want to leave, and someone else wants them, that’s a win win no?
That being said, the history of immigrants ingrained in non westernized versions of Islam has always been problematic for countries, it’s one reason I think Egypt won’t let any in.
