VIDEO: Skerrit proposes resettling Palestinian refugees in Dominica with Gulf and US support
Dominica’s Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit has proposed the possible resettlement of several hundred Palestinian refugees in the country, contingent on support from international partners.
Speaking in Parliament this week, Skerrit revealed that the government intends to engage the governments of Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates (UAE), as well as the United States, to explore the feasibility of the initiative.
“We’ll be working to engage the government of Qatar and the government of Saudi Arabia and the government of UAE with a view to quite possibly allowing the resettlement of a couple hundred Palestinians into Dominica,” he said.
Skerrit said the initiative would depend on financial backing from these countries, particularly for infrastructure support. Discussions with the United States are also expected to form part of the effort.
Highlighting the potential benefits of the move, the Prime Minister noted that Palestinian professionals could help address skills shortages in Dominica.
“You have very talented people in this country—top-class doctors, top-class engineers—who we believe can assist us in our efforts towards growing the economy and filling the gaps where we have some skills deficiencies,” he said.
No timeline was provided for when discussions would begin or how many refugees could ultimately be resettled.
The proposal comes amid growing international concern for the humanitarian situation in Gaza and ongoing efforts by several nations to provide support to displaced Palestinians.

PM Skerritt, you definitely don’t want to do that!
It’s unfortunate of what is occurring with the Palestinians, but it’s also funny how black people show no love for people of their own kind or own skin colour/race. Haitians have been dealing with hardships for years so where is the olive branch to our own kind. Africans in Sudan and other parts have been dealing with hardships so where is the love for your own people, but you willing to open your country to people who have no love for people of your own skin colour or race lol. We are our own worse enemy. lol smh
And we wonder how slavery begun lmfao. Why black people always want rescue everyone else except them own???
Why import more middle east drama to this relatively safe, secure, stable part of God’s universe???? For a few dollars more. Hell no, PM Skerritt. We want no unnecessary bloodbaths in our region!
Jesus ohhh!!! 🙆♀️🙆♀️🙆♀️
That is a July 31 joke. The US will say its a threat and then threaten VISA etc and you dem boy lub merca so this is just a tongue in cheek statement.
He keep looking across like he waiting for stone to start flying
What Roosevelt is proposing for Dominica, is basically the same thing that Lanny Boso is presently doing and planning to do even more. He’s telling Antiguans and Barbudans to take some kind of land offer at Pensioners because the Arabs are already showing interest in purchasing the whole lot. These guys will do just about anything for money and we see now that they are hell bent on selling out their own people. They both had a common investment in Choksi; that’s how much they love money.
in our Bottom he gonna put them. next thing they come and start war cause is that they love and MISEH in der moda ass.
Hombre, ya never wonder about how to get Dominicans to return to their home country?
Nuff a dem run leff gone Dominica and before you think about how to attract them back home, especially well- educated ones, you a worry bout Palestinians.
Oh why don’t skerrit hush his mouth, we black people are the least, still semi slave because we have been harvested mentally and spiritually, it’s white a white god we worship, the Westminster system we follow and part of commonwealth, the Palestinian will never do that, plus our politicians don’t love their black brothers and sisters so the thief all the monies and leave their country underdeveloped even though the collected trillions of dollars since our independence, so the former slaves is not given the chance of living the dignity of a human as the Caucasian are able to do, Roosevelt skerrit must be thinking of more votes to cement him in power. But unlike us with no back bone the Palestinian won’t give up their lands, it’s either Marco Rubio has finance skerrit and others to encourage the Palestinian to leave so Palestine can become real estate as trump stated, that’s the same thing happened to the barbudans during hurricane Irma, Gaston turn their disaster struck land into real estate for sale to PLH rich white mafia’s, including Oppenheimer .

@ what a bum…..EXACTLY what is saying. Do you have any idea how many Dominicans outside want to come back and de gov dem stress them to point they say..”forget it” No $$$$…NO assistance. His statement was all about the $$$ he can get from them in exchange for people. Nothing else. Oh.. and i guess he forget he abstained from voting on that Gaza issue some months ago. Now he is concerned!
I can’t believe it…Black stupid fella is trying to be “Kind” with people that don’t give a dam crap.s..t about Black community? Stop this guy, this is one of the worse move he can make and the door of new kind of salve master that you can’t never experience. This Arab community are conqueror, and will lie a lot in order to archive their goal. Dominance. Those Palestinian aren’t Christian, and don’t respect Christianity at all. They will play dummy until become strong enough to attack, they will play victim card a lot while preparing in the shadow to kick you down.
Haitian, African citizens No. Palestinian Yes…Hypocrisy and ignorance.
DOMINICA’S POLICE FORCE WILL BE OVERWHELMED BY A HANDFUL OF THE MOST EXTREME TERRORIST WHO HAVE BEEN TRAINED FROM BIRTH THAT THE ONLY GATANTIED WAY TO ISLAMIC PARADISE IS TO DIE WHILE KILLING AN AFRICANS, CHRISTIANS , JEWS AND DRUZE.
IS DOMINICA ABLE TO CONTROL PEOPLE WHOM ALL OF THE ARAB STATES HAVR REFUSED BECAUSE THEY HAVE LEARNED FROM THE EXTREME VIOLENCE THEY COMIT WHEREVER THEY GO.
Outrage in France as Nour Attalah, a Gazan refugee who arrived last month on a scholarship based on “academic excellence,” is exposed for old posts praising Hitler, Hamas, Hezbollah, the Houthis, and calling for the murder of all hostages in Gaza.
She even reposted content glorifying the Charlie Hebdo terrorist attack for criticizing Prophet Mohammed, and claimed Muslims should not partake in ‘Christian activities.’ People in France are shocked to learn how radicalized Gazans are.
Now, just two weeks after declaring that all Gazans are eligible for asylum, France is suspending its program to receive refugees from Gaza. And Nour must leave France.
First, they made you think that Zionism is a racist idea.
Then they told you that Israelis are bad people.
Now they’ve moved to the real target: that all Jews are evil.
This is the scheme of the devil — and he will use whatever he can to poison your soul and feed you lies. The internet is flooded with YouTube and TikTok videos trying to portray Jews as the root of the world’s problems.
First, they say we kill innocent people. Yet the facts show that 99.9% of slaughter and terrorist activities worldwide are carried out by radical Muslims.
Then they spread lies that we secretly control the world — when, in reality, history shows repeated attempts to destroy the Jews. October 7th was just the latest example.
Next, they claim our faith is rooted in the occult, inventing insane conspiracy theories about Jewish rituals that supposedly involve pedophilia — even though 99.99% of crimes like that are committed by non-Jews.
Finally, they say we stole the land from people who were here first — although these same people will admit on camera that they are not indigenous but Arabs from across the Middle East. The very term Jews reflects our origin from Judea!
Guard your souls — and those of your children.
Satan is turning you against God’s people because he knows how precious they are to God.
In the end, this war is not about Israel — but about the God of Israel.
As Psalm 83:1–4 says:
“Do not keep silent, O God!
Do not hold Your peace,
And do not be still, O God!
For behold, Your enemies make a tumult;
And those who hate You have lifted up their head.
They have taken crafty counsel against Your people,
And consulted together against Your sheltered ones.
They have said, ‘Come, and let us cut them off from being a nation,
That the name of Israel may be remembered no more.’”
See the extreme acts of terrorism they proudly filmed themselves doing on October 7 2023

Me alone in a 2 bed room house sure I would take in a child and mother why not sick of dominica women
Seems a little shortsighted on this one. There are lots of qualified persons in other Caribbean islands who could help develop Dominica if that is needed at all (Too much development is not really good.) Or, training opportunities could be provided to their own young people. Refugees might have skills but also come with a lot of emotional trauma added with different language, religion, cultural practices etc. They may not be as productive in those circumstances as one might imagine. They are human beings not machines. Palestinians should be absorbed by places with similar cultures such as other Middle Eastern countries. Also, with an active war going on, the PM could be dragging his people into a nightmare situation as there is no guarantee that the refugees are all benevolent, peaceful types. They might try to continue some aspects of their war from this side of the world.
