The director of the Israeli intelligence agency reportedly sought U.S. aid in resettling Gazans in a visit to Washington, D.C. this week, two sources with knowledge of the matter told Axios on Friday.
Mossad Director David Barnea reportedly spoke to U.S. special envoy Steve Witkoff about resettling Gazans to other nations with U.S. aid, naming Ethiopia, Indonesia and Libya specifically as potential destinations, sources told Axios. While Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu insists that any relocation of Gazans would be voluntary, the move remains highly controversial as many critics characterize the idea as a potential war crime.
“I think President Trump had a brilliant vision. It’s called free choice. You know, if people want to stay, they can stay, but if they want to leave, they should be able to leave. It shouldn’t be a prison,” Netanyahu said regarding the idea of voluntary relocation in a meeting with President Donald Trump at the White House.
The Israeli Foreign Ministry did not respond to the Daily Caller News Foundation’s requests for comment.
