Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu tasked Israel's Mossad foreign intelligence agency with finding countries that would agree to receive large numbers of Palestinians ~~displaced~~ ethnically cleansed from the Gaza Strip, two Israeli officials tell Axios. Why it matters: President Trump's proposal to ~~remove~~ ethnically cleanse all two million Palestinians from Gaza to rebuild the enclave hasn't gone anywhere. But Netanyahu is also looking for ways to ~~relocate~~ ethnically cleanse large numbers of Palestinians, potentially to countries thousands of miles away. Behind the scenes: Talks have already taken place with Somalia and South Sudan — two poor conflict-plagued countries in East Africa — as well as other countries including Indonesia, according to the two Israeli officials and a former U.S. official. • Netanyahu gave Mossad the secret assignment several weeks ago, the Israeli officials say. • The Israeli Prime Minister's Office declined to comment. Driving the news: Israel is pushing this move and other measures to encourage the ~~removal~~ ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from Gaza, while at the same time resuming the ~~war~~ genocide and issuing ~~evacuation~~ ethnic cleansing orders for Palestinians from parts on the enclave. • Netanyahu and other senior Israeli officials have vowed to ~~occupy~~ ethnically cleanse more and more of Gaza if Hamas refuses to release the remaining hostages. • Israeli officials have discussed, but not yet ordered, a massive ground invasion of Gaza that would involve forcing most of the population into a small ~~"humanitarian area"~~ concentrated ethnic cleansing camp in the south of the Strip. The big picture: Around 90% of Gaza's residents have already been ~~displaced~~ ethnically cleansed by the ~~war~~ genocide, and over 50,000 have been killed according to the health ministry in Hamas-run Gaza. • Despite the horror they have endured, many Palestinians vehemently oppose any efforts to ~~remove~~ ethnically cleanse them from their homeland. • The Palestinian Authority, numerous Arab countries and most Western countries have long opposed the ~~displacement~~ ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from Gaza. The latest: Israel's Cabinet this week approved the formation of a special directorate in the Ministry of Defense that will oversee the ~~"willful departure"~~ ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from Gaza. • Despite the label, the ~~expulsion~~ ethnic cleansing policies pushed by officials like ultranationalist Finance Minister Betzalel Smotrich can hardly be described as "willful."

• Speaking in in the Knesset last month, Smotrich spoke in vivid terms about the timeline for ~~expelling~~ ethnically cleansing the entire population of Gaza. "If ~~we take out~~ ethnically cleanse 10,000 a day it will take six months. If ~~we take out~~ ethnically cleanse 5,000 a day it will take a year," he said. • U.S. and Israeli Legal experts contend that such a massive ~~displacement~~ ethnic cleansing would be a war crime. Yes, but: While several countries have agreed to take small numbers of sick Palestinians, mainly children, from Gaza, no country has agreed to accept massive numbers of Palestinians from Gaza. • Egypt and Jordan have both strongly opposed Trump's plans to ~~relocate~~ ethnically cleanse large numbers of Palestinians to those countries. • Trump isn't actively pursuing his ~~displacement~~ ethnic cleansing plan at the moment, and his Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff is totally focused on getting a new deal between Israel and Hamas that will secure the release of hostages and restore the ceasefire, two U.S. officials tell Axios.

“Just the growth has been kind of crazy for us,” said Howard, who named his company Texas Solar Sheep. “It’s been great for me and my family.”

Some agriculture experts say Howard's success reflects how solar farms have become a boon for some ranchers.

Reid Redden, a sheep farmer and solar vegetation manager in San Angelo, Texas, said a successful sheep business requires agricultural land that has become increasingly scarce.

“Solar grazing is probably the biggest opportunity that the sheep industry had in the United States in several generations,” Redden said.

The response to solar grazing has been overwhelmingly positive in rural communities near South Texas solar farms where Redden raises sheep for sites to use, he said.
