According to NBC and the Jerusalem Post, President Trump is currently working on a plan to relocate at least one million Palestinians out of the Gaza Strip and into Libya, which is in northern Africa. From there, they would undoubtedly get on a boat to Italy.
According to NBC News, the Trump administration is working on a plan to permanently relocate up to 1 million Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to Libya, five people with knowledge of the effort told NBC News.
Allegedly, he has discussed it with Libyan authorities.
In exchange for the resettling of Palestinians, the administration would potentially release to Libya billions of dollars of funds that the U.S. froze more than a decade ago, those three people said.
The same three anonymous sources said no final agreement has been reached, and Israel has been kept informed of the administration’s discussions.
No one has denied it.
Basem Naim, a senior Hamas official, said that Hamas, the U.S.-designated terrorist group that has run Gaza, was not aware of any discussions about moving Palestinians to Libya.
“Palestinians are very rooted in their homeland, very strongly committed to the homeland, and they are ready to fight up to the end and to sacrifice anything to defend their land, their homeland, their families, and the future of their children,” Naim said in response to questions from NBC News.
“[Palestinians] are exclusively the only party who have the right to decide for the Palestinians, including Gaza and Gazans, what to do and what not to do.”
Same Report from Jerusalem Post
The Jerusalem Post reported the story before NBC News. Palestinians, according to one source, may be incentivised to leave with the promise of a stipend and housing, says the Post.
I seriously doubt it.
Trump said on Thursday that he would like to see the US take control of the Gaza Strip, deal with Hamas, and turn it into a freedom zone.
“If it’s necessary, I think I’d be proud to have the United States have it, take it, make it a freedom zone,” he said during a business roundtable.
“Let some good things happen, put people in homes where they can be safe, and Hamas is going to have to be dealt with,” Trump said.
“They’ve never solved the Gaza problem, and if you look at it, I have aerial shots,” he said. “I mean, there’s practically no building standing; there’s no building. People are living under the rubble of buildings that collapsed, which is not acceptable. It’s a tremendous death. And I want to see that be a freedom zone.”
This isn’t going to work. Media is already calling it “ethnic cleansing,” and CAIR, a Hamas front group, is calling on President Trump to renounce the “insane” plan. If he tries, the lawsuits will be filed five minutes later.
Maybe we can make them the 51st state instead.
Trump’s deep seated urge to be a developer is greater than his MAGA urges. Somebody needs to tell him the Mideast is a problem created by Europe and the Ottomans, and NONE of our business anymore. We only needed their oil but not anymore. Only the EU and China, India need it. Those three have plenty of Human Resources and… Read more »
The Arabs of Gaza have 22 homelands. Jordan being number one, Egypt being number two.
He is the first Jewish U.S. President after all.
Make Israel Greater ‘Again?’
He’s actually the first Arab president. So far he was able to have peace in Syria. He’s being hard on Iran and and the Arabs of Gaza.
If they are so “rooted” to their homeland why are they “rooting” elsewhere???
Now you will just have 1m even more irate Palestinians.
How about fixing America first? We taxpayers will be paying for all this nonsense. Just wait until we’re hit with the cost of rebuilding Ukraine. Palestinians will hold onto their hate for Jews regardless.
No, we’re not. The billions that libya has as well as the rich Arab states, will pay for this.
It’s not gonna happen anyway. These arabs want perpetual war forever. They’ve already said that they will sacrifice their children, because that’s what they have to do.
Why should Americans ‘rebuild’ Ukraine for? Ukraine has been getting billions of Us taxpayer dollars, they have enough money to rebuild themselves
