Earlier, US President Donald Trump called Gaza a "demolition site" and said that the US would "take over" the reconstruction. He also suggested a mass relocation of Palestinians to other countries, such as Egypt or Jordan, as part of his plan to turn the Gaza Strip into "the Riviera of the Middle East."
Somalia will not participate in “displacement policies planned by Washington against Palestinians,” the Somalian foreign ministry stated.
The country rejected any plan to relocate Palestinians from Gaza to its territory, despite reports that some autonomous regions were open to the idea.
