The plan is under serious enough consideration that the administration has discussed it with Libyas 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 administrations discussions, the same three sources said.
The State Department and the National Security Council did not respond to multiple requests for comment.

(30,288 posts)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.

(1,679 posts)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.
