The Trump administration is working on a plan to transfer 1 million Palestinians from Gaza to Libya for permanent residency in exchange for the release of frozen Libyan funds
The Donald Trump administration is working on a new plan to permanently transfer up to one million residents of the Gaza Strip to Libya.
The plan is under serious consideration, to the point that the United States has discussed it with the Libyan leadership.
In exchange for resettling the Gaza Strip’s residents, the US administration will release billions of dollars in Libyan assets that have been frozen in the United States for more than a decade.
According to reports, still there is no final agreement reached yet, and details remain vague.
Israel has been briefed on the administration’s discussions.
The US State Department and the National Security Council declined to comment on the matter.
The details regarding when and how any plan to transfer Palestinians to Libya would be implemented are unclear, and the plan is likely to face significant obstacles.
This move comes within the context of Trump’s vision to transform Gaza into a free zone under US control, which sparked widespread international reactions.
Many countries and international organizations have expressed concern about this plan, believing it could set a dangerous precedent by changing the demographic composition of the region and contradicts the Palestinians’ right to return to their lands.
These developments come amid escalating tensions in the region and ongoing Israeli military operations in Gaza, further complicating the humanitarian and political situation in the Palestinian territories.
