The director of Israel's Mossad spy agency visited Washington this week seeking U.S. help in convincing countries to take hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from Gaza, two sources with knowledge of issue tell Axios.
- The spy chief, David Barnea, told White House envoy Steve Witkoff that Israel has been speaking in particular with Ethiopia, Indonesia and Libya.
Why it matters: The Israeli government's goal of removing much of Gaza's population is hugely controversial. While Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government claims such a "relocation" would be "voluntary," U.S. and Israeli legal experts have labeled it a war crime.
Behind the scenes: In their meeting earlier this week, Barnea told Witkoff that Ethiopia, Indonesia and Libya had expressed openness to receiving large numbers of Palestinians from Gaza, the two source say.

Modern day putting people on the trains shit, absolutely disgusting.
The line about only sending those that want to go is rich coming from a regime that kills tens of starving people every morning and bombing everything.
It’s nazi shit happening before our eyes and nobody will say anything.
Even if they don’t round them up and put them on transportation to make them leave, when you destroy the critical infrastructure of a place, limit the food coming in, create an aid distribution site where it’s a roll of the dice on if you get shot trying to get food or not then it’s hardly voluntary.
Indonesia? That’s surprising. They have already been taking a lot of issue with accepting Rohingya refugees, because they don’t want to implicitly support genocide and ethnonationalism. And they’re also already dealing with communities of undocumented refugees whom weren’t able to reach or remain in Australia.
“It’s voluntary,” they say, after destroying their homes, killing their families, and demolishing any infrastructure that could possibly support them.
