Human rights groups have warned that the expulsion of the Gaza population would violate international law.
Israel is in discussion with South Sudan about the move of force Gaza Palestinians In the country of East Africa, according to six familiar people with the question that spoke to the Associated Press.
The proposal is part of an Israeli effort to move the Palestinians from Gaza – a move from human rights groups would warn a forced expulsion, Ethnic cleaning, And would violate international law.
The detractors of the transfer plan fear that the Palestinians would never be authorized to return to Gaza and that mass departure could open the way to Israel to annex the enclave and restore the Israeli colonies there, as called by far-right ministers of the Israeli government.
South Sudan had trouble recovering from a civil war which broke out shortly after independence in 2011, killing nearly 400,000 people and leaving parts of the country faced with famine. It already houses a large population of refugees because of conflicts in neighboring countries.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu previously declared that he wanted to advance what he calls “voluntary migration” for a large part of the population of Gaza, a policy to which he linked previous statements of the American president Donald Trump.
“I think that the right thing to do, even according to the laws of war as I know them, is to allow the population to leave, then you enter with all your might against the enemy who stays there,” Netanyahu said in an interview with I24, an Israeli television channel. He did not refer to South Sudan.
AP reported that Israel and the United States have launched similar proposals with Sudan, Somalia and the Somaliland region.
Egypt, which shares a border with Gaza, firmly opposed any forced transfer of the Palestinians outside the enclave, fearing an influx of refugees in its territory.
Edmund Yakani, South Sudanese Civil Society Head, told AP that the country “should not become a dumping ground for people … and that he should not agree to take people as a chip negotiation to improve relations”.
Joe Szlavik, founder of an American lobbying company working with South Sudan, said that he had been informed by South-South officials on talks.
According to Szlavik, the country wants the Trump administration to launch a travel ban and remove sanctions on certain South Sudanese elites, suggesting that the United States could be involved in any agreement on the forced displacement of Palestinians.
Peter Martell, journalist and author of First Ruge in Flag, said “South Sudan in short money needs all ally, financial and diplomatic security that she can obtain”.
The Trump administration has already put pressure on several countries to accept expulsions, and South Sudan has already taken eight people withdrawn from the United States under the mass deportation policy of the administration.
