Rwanda, Chad and the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC) have denied holding negotiations with Israel regarding the expulsion of Palestinians from Gaza and their settlement in the three African countries, TRT World reports.

The Rwandan Foreign Ministry said “disinformation” published by Israel media alleging talks between Israel and Rwanda on the possibility of exile of Palestinians from Gaza to Rwanda is “completely false.”

“No such discussion has taken place either now or in the past, and the disinformation should be ignored,” it said. Earlier, DRC and Chad also denied holding talks with Israel about the expulsion of Palestinians from Gaza.

Contrary to what is reported in some media, there has “never been any form of negotiation, discussion or initiative” between Kinshasa and the Israeli state on the alleged reception of expelled Palestinians on Congolese soil, the DRC government spokesperson Patrick Muyaya said in a statement late on Thursday.
