"The Ministry urges all media outlets to exercise due diligence and verify information through official channels before publication," the statement adds.
Palestinians and human rights groups have largely rejected the proposal of Israel to displace Gazans from their homeland in violation of international law.
Egypt has since opposed the proposals, fearing an influx of refugees into its own territory.
According to the AP, Joe Szlavik, the founder of a US lobbying firm working with South Sudan, said he was briefed by South Sudanese officials on the talks.
Some of the concerns raised against the move are that the countries being looked at are that the nations are also grappling with war and hunger, and thus should not be burdened with more issues.
