Mossad to Lead Gaza Emigration Plan After High-Level Security Meeting

Israel’s top political leadership held an urgent discussion in recent days, led by National Security Council chief Shmuel Ben Ezra, on the issue of voluntary emigration from the Gaza Strip. At the end of the meeting, officials decided that the Mossad would be the body responsible for implementing the plan, and that a dedicated budget would also be approved to advance it.

According to political sources involved in the details, the recent memorandum of understanding signed between the United States and Iran has opened the door to a broader regional agreement that could also include the Gaza emigration issue. Officials in Jerusalem say the process is making significant progress, although several matters still need to be resolved.

The current moves are taking place against the backdrop of last week’s visit to Israel by Somaliland’s president. During that trip, he held working meetings with the prime minister, the defense minister, the foreign minister, and senior Mossad officials. Those meetings are being viewed as part of the wider diplomatic effort now taking shape.

The report says the Mossad, under Maj. Gen. Roman Gofman, will lead implementation of the initiative. The article does not provide a timeline for execution, only that the political and security establishment has already moved to the next stage.
