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

For all of the idiots who voted for trump or did not vote because of Gaza, this is a big FAFO



https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/national-security/trump-administration-working-plan-move-1-million-palestinians-libya-rcna207224
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.

The plan is under serious enough consideration that the administration has discussed it with Libya’s leadership, two people with direct knowledge of the plans and a former U.S. official said.

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.

No final agreement has been reached, and Israel has been kept informed of the administration’s discussions, the same three sources said.

The State Department and the National Security Council did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

I doubt very many would vote to go to Libya, but will probably be given about as much choice as undocumented immigrants in this country being shipped to El Salvador. Oh wait---didn't trump say he wanted to start shipping those people to Libya too?

Just an, "undesirable people," dumping ground.

That's where most of them came from in the first place. Many of them would be happy to be repatriated.

the pig has repeatedly said he wants the US to control Gaza. I do believe the pig sees the potential in all of that waterfront property, and he may not have any intent on handing it over to Israel. so that situation could get quite interesting.

You should blame Netanyahu for the current Trump regime. Not Palestinians
