Big if true, as they say.
The Trump administration is considering three potential areas for the absorption of refugee Gazans after President Donald Trump announced that the US plans to take over the Gaza Strip and relocate those currently there to rebuild the area, N12 reported on Wednesday.
According to the report, the areas being considered are Morocco, Puntland, and Somaliland.
The report noted that what these three countries share in common is a strong need for US support, as Somaliland and Puntland seek international recognition, and Morocco has an ongoing territorial dispute over Western Sahara.
Somaliland has been looking for recognition as an independent country.

Trump's far out ideas are goading the ME into coming up with something that will work.
Bottom line: Hamas must be no more.
Anything else is icing on the cake.

This is a good choice. Somalia is already a dump. They can't ruin it any further than it is now.

I wonder how different this is from resettling Canadians in Louisiana and calling them Cajuns?

I despise Somalians, but I feel bad for them.
Maybe the Iranians should be gifted the Palestinians.

My suggestion is one of the islands near Antarctica. Keep them busy trying to keep warm.

Sounds like a Plan!
Punt 'em to Puntland!
Before this article, I had never heard of the place. (It's a northeastern part of Somalia that has 'broken away' from the rest of that dump.)
So, Somaliland or Puntland sounds pretty good.
Don't know about Morocco. Morocco might have a functioning government. Does Morocco deserve the disruption that these ever-troublemaking third-generation 'refugees' would cause?
I was wondering where Trump could put the 'Palestinians', as they are more trouble than they're worth and none of the Arab countries will take 'em.
My thought was Outer Tonbuglia, a place mentioned in an old editorial cartoon. (If you're wondering where it is, it's right next to Inner Tonbuglia.)

Send them to any country that does not have a real government. Somalia is a good example. Afghanistan is another. Any country that is a failed state. They have nobody in a real position of authority that can object.

Wow! I bet even the worst Palestinian shudders to think about going to Somalia.

Resettle Gazans in Somalia? Hilarious! I'd like to see it happen but doubt that it could be carried out.

That’s cool as they say! As long as they don’t try to resettle the Gaza Strip people in Iowa!

Now THAT would be a good way to get rid of these troublemakers, toss them in with MORE troublemakers, where no one will even notice.

A momant before they were slain, shot to pieces by the entire Bolivian army, Butch Cassidy revealed to Sundance his last place of refuge, which was Australia. Sundance--they were both already horribly wounded--after initially disagreeing, said he'd think it over. Down Under was somewhere else for the outlaws to run to. Somaliland almost but not quite sounds Disneyesque, except that it's a gun bazaar. Do they make quality holsters like Safariland? Is Puntland where you go when it's fourth and long? That certainly doesn't sound so promising. Tangier, in Morocco, was the location of William S. Burrough's wild linguistic romp, Naked Lunch, where Fagen and Becker found the name for their group, Steely Dan. That's pretty good, but the novel, though brilliant, was full of heroin and homosexuality. So what next? I hear that Ouagadougou is real nice this time of the year.

Maybe a cozy corner of Greenland would cool them down.

In terms of the regional geography, putting the terror-happy "Palestinians" on land alongside some of the world's busier shipping lanes between the Mediterranean Sea and Indian Ocean, including the southern entrance to the Red Sea, the Gulf of Suez and the Suez Canal, would be like parking them on the Colorado plains, adjacent to Denver International Airport, threat-wise. "Palestinians" have a rich history in aviation terrorism. I like the idea expressed in #8, to send them to Iran, their terrorist benefactor, although it would be easier on the Israelis to bunch them with their brethren in Lebanon.
