Palestinian Authority chairman Mahmoud Abbas has urged South Sudan to reject Israel's reported proposal to relocate residents of the Gaza Strip to its territory. Abbas praised South Sudan's stance against participating in plans that could undermine Palestinian unity or rights, emphasizing adherence to international law and resolutions that define displacement as a war crime. South Sudan's Foreign Affairs Ministry has officially denied any discussions with Israel about resettling Gazan Arabs, calling such reports baseless and urging media caution. However, diplomatic sources suggest that South Sudan has quietly agreed to a resettlement plan involving Israeli investment, United States sanctions relief, and Emirati financial support, despite the public denials.
