Israeli officials led by strategic affairs minister Ron Dermer have sounded out the governments of Somalia and Sudan, countries wracked by civil war, while US diplomats have been in contact with the breakaway province of Somaliland, the people said.

One said Israel was “in conversations” with countries around the world, including in Africa, about taking in Gazans, although they cautioned that the talks “are not that advanced at the moment”.
