US Considers Relocating Palestinians from Gaza to Libya

The Trump administration is reportedly developing a plan to permanently relocate up to one million Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to Libya, in exchange for unfreezing billions of dollars in Libyan assets previously frozen by the U.S. Discussions have taken place between U.S. officials and Libya’s leadership, with Israel being kept informed, though no final agreement has been reached. Libya is currently divided between two rival governments and is facing civil unrest, armed conflict, and significant humanitarian challenges. The U.S. State Department has deemed Libya unsafe, raising further concerns about the relocation proposal. Palestinian representatives, including Hamas, have strongly opposed the idea, emphasizing Palestinians' right to remain in their homeland. U.S. government agencies have declined to comment on the reported plan.
