According to the sources of the TV channel, the White House works on a plan, according to which up to 1 million Palestinians will be moved from the gas sector to Libya. The interlocutors of journalists did not indicate the details, but noted that the plan is considered “quite seriously” and was already discussed with the Libyan leadership.
In exchange for the resettlement of Palestinians, the administration could potentially allocate billions of dollars, which the United States froze more than ten years ago, the report said.
NBC News notes that the civil war has been continuing in Libya for almost 14 years, and the United States officially advise its citizens not to visit this country.
Context
Since October 2023, Israel has been waging a war against the Palestinian Hamas group in response to his attack on the territory of Israel, the murder of civilians and the abduction of more than 100 hostages, some of which were released or killed. The ground operation in the gas sector, accompanied by massive bombing, lasts about a year, during which time about 40 thousand people died there.
After long discussions of the ceasefire between Israel and Khamas, with the participation of negotiators, Qatar handed over to Israel and Hamas the final draft of the armistice agreement. According to Associated Press interlocutors, Hamas agreed to a draft ceasefire in the gas sector, and on January 15, 2025 it became known about the conclusion of an agreement on ceasefire.
In the same month, Trump called on Egypt, Jordan and other countries to accept more Palestinian refugees from the gas sector. According to him, it is necessary to take out enough the population to “simply clear” the area that has suffered damage as a result of the war, and create an actually clean leaf there, and it is better to move to other Arab countries, to build housing there and “live in a world for diversity”.
February 4 Trump announced the intention to establish Control over the gas sector did not rule out the likelihood of the introduction of American troops into this region. Also, at a meeting with journalists, Trump repeatedly repeated his position on the need to resettle residents of Gaza. In his opinion, they should be accepted by Jordan and Egypt. The head of the White House also announced the intention to acquire and control gas, suggesting the probability of restoring its individual units by other countries of the Middle East.
On February 6, the Minister of Defense of Israel, Israeli, wrote on the network of the Israeli defense army (IDF) to develop a plan that will allow any residents of the gas sector to voluntarily leave the region and go to countries that will be ready to accept them.
