A top U.S. consulting firm provided modelling for a plan to forcibly relocate hundreds of thousands of Palestinians from Gaza to Somalia and Somaliland, new reporting reveals, as President Donald Trump was promoting his plan to build the “Riviera of the Middle East” on the ruins of Israel’s genocide.

Financial Times reports that Boston Consulting Group (BCG), one of the most prestigious consulting firms in the U.S., had mapped out multiple scenarios for relocation, with the supposed aim of providing estimates on the economic implications of the plan. The modeling was done for Israeli business people who were involved in the creation of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) and were developing post-genocide plans for Gaza.

BCG’s involvement in the Israeli- and U.S.-backed GHF scheme in Gaza has been previously reported, but Financial Times unveiled the firm’s deeper involvement in the genocide in an investigation last month. The modelling project reportedly involved over a dozen employees, lasted over half a year, and covered over $4 million in contracted work, the investigation found.

The report is further evidence of the U.S. private sector’s involvement in Israel’s genocide in Gaza, as well as its postwar plans, which have been repeatedly condemned by UN officials. Haaretz reported this week that U.S.-based Arkel International LLC, a logistics and construction firm, is one of three subcontractors working with GHF, alongside UG Solutions and Safe Reach Solutions.
