British newspaper: An American company planned to relocate Palestinians from Gaza to Somalia.

The "Boston Consulting Group" (BCG) developed a model for the plans to relocate Palestinians from Gaza to Somalia and Somaliland, on behalf of Israeli businessmen seeking to redevelop the sector.

According to the "Financial Times," sources familiar with the work stated to the newspaper that the two African countries were among a group of nations to which Palestinians could be deported.

The list also included Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, and Jordan.

This model emerged from the Boston Consulting Group's work in assisting the establishment of the "Gaza Humanitarian Foundation" (GHF), which has faced widespread criticism due to the massive number of casualties at its four aid distribution sites.

When this post-war modeling was published, it sparked widespread outrage, and the consulting firm publicly denied responsibility for the work, indicating that the responsible partner had been instructed not to proceed with it.

This modeling was found in preparation for what Israel did not want, with support from the United States for the "Gaza Next Day" plan, and the resettlement plans were based on media reports indicating that Israeli and American officials had discussions with East African leaders about hosting the displaced Palestinians, in exchange for concessions such as recognizing the breakaway "Somaliland" as an independent state.

The threat of resettlement, which was stated by former U.S. President Donald Trump while hosting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on February 4, 2025, at the White House (by making Gaza the Riviera of the Middle East), was described as ethnic cleansing by human rights groups and international bodies.

A source familiar with the work told the "Financial Times" (according to its report): "By accepting the residents of Gaza who are temporarily and voluntarily relocating, the state (that accepts them) will undoubtedly gain significant economic benefits."

He added: "But the countries in the model were not chosen based on knowledge of specific discussions. Rather, the idea was to understand the economic issues related to the options that President Trump put on the table."

It was reported that a presentation related to the plan anticipated that 25% of Palestinians in Gaza would decide to move outside the sector, with the majority not returning. The Boston Consulting Group (BCG) projected $4.7 billion in economic benefits for the countries receiving Palestinians during the first four years.

Reports indicated that the Boston Consulting Group - which includes Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu among its alumni - engaged with the International Finance Corporation (GHF) when the American security firm Orbis contracted the company to assist in a feasibility study for a new relief operation.

According to reports, the Boston Consulting Group (BCG) was chosen for its connection to Phil Riley, a former officer in the U.S. Central Intelligence Agency (CIA) who works at Orbis. Riley was a senior advisor to the Boston Consulting Group for eight years, until six months ago, when he founded Safe Reach Solutions, a for-profit security and logistics company that guards the relief centers of the International Finance Corporation in Gaza.

The Financial Times also reported that staff from the Tony Blair Institute participated in the post-war Gaza project, which included plans for "Trump's Riviera" and utilized financial models developed by the Boston Consulting Group.
