U.S. Reportedly Considers Relocating One Million Palestinians to Libya
The United States is reportedly developing a plan to relocate up to one million Palestinians from Gaza to Libya, according to NBC News.
Citing five sources familiar with the matter, NBC revealed the proposal is under serious internal consideration by the Trump administration.
Two individuals with direct knowledge and one former U.S. official confirmed discussions have taken place between American and Libyan officials.
As part of the plan, the U.S. would unfreeze billions of dollars in Libyan assets, held since the Gaddafi era, in exchange for cooperation.
The potential relocation would be permanent, sparking alarm over humanitarian, legal, and geopolitical consequences in an already volatile region.
No official statement has been issued by the U.S. government or Libyan authorities to confirm or deny the report.
The proposal, if true, would mark a dramatic shift in U.S. policy regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and refugee resettlement.
Observers warn that such a move could destabilise Libya further and draw international condemnation over forced population transfers.
Rights groups and regional leaders are expected to react strongly to any attempt to displace large populations under political pressure.
The reported plan adds to growing concerns about long-term solutions for Gaza as violence and displacement continue to rise.
