Trump admin working on plan to move 1 million Palestinians to Libya

SUMMARY

The Trump administration is considering relocating up to 1 million Palestinians from Gaza to Libya. They have discussed the plan with Libya's leadership and may release frozen U.S. funds in exchange. Hamas’s Basem Naim stated that “Palestinians are very rooted in their homeland,” emphasizing their right to decide their future.

Libya is currently unstable, struggling to support its population amid ongoing conflict. The feasibility of moving Palestinians is uncertain, with considerations for financial incentives like housing and stipends for volunteers. There are significant costs and obstacles associated with such a relocation. The administration has also eyed Libya for deporting immigrants from the U.S.
