The South Sudanese government has agreed to accept residents who choose to leave the Gaza Strip, but faces domestic opposition that makes it difficult to advance the plan. According to a report in the British Telegraph, citing a source in the Foreign Ministry in Juba, the capital of South Sudan, the government agreed to a request as part of a deal involving the United States and the United Arab Emirates. The Foreign Ministry source noted that the U.S. is expected to lift sanctions on South Sudan, and Israel for its part will invest in health and education in the country.
