[Deeq A.]

Somaliland is not in any talks with anyone about the resettlement of Palestinians, its foreign minister said on Friday.

“I haven’t received such a proposal, and there are no talks with anyone regarding Palestinians,” Abdirahman Dahir Adan, Somaliland’s foreign minister, told Reuters.

Citing US and Israeli officials, the Associated Press reported on Friday that the US and Israel had contacted officials from Sudan, Somalia and its breakaway region of Somaliland to discuss using their territory to resettle Palestinians displaced from Gaza.
