The plan has been discussed with the Libyan authorities, NBC News writes. Among other things, it will be about providing financial benefits, according to the channel.
The card version
- The Trump administration is considering moving one million Palestinians from Gaza to Libya, sources told NBC News. The plan is discussed with the Libyan authorities.
- The Palestinians can get financial benefits, such as free housing, in exchange to free frozen funds to Libya, according to the sources.
- Trumps has also stated that he wants to make Gaza a “zone of freedom.” This is criticized as ethnic cleansing of the UN and others.

The American news channel quotes five unnamed people with knowledge of the case. The plan is about moving one million Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to Libya, according to NBC News.
Two former US government officials with direct knowledge of the plans say that it is seriously considered that it has been discussed with the Libya authorities.
The details are unclear, and a final agreement has not been made, according to the news channel. Three sources also say that Israel has been informed of the discussions.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the National Security Council have not responded to requests from NBC News for a comment. Neither does the Libyan authorities. Israeli authorities have not wanted to respond, according to the news channel.
Can release billions of dollars in exchange
One of the proposals that should have been discussed is about giving the Palestinians financial benefits, such as free housing and even a monthly scholarship, says one of the former US service personnel to the News Channel.
In exchange for settling Palestinians, the US government can release billions of dollars to Libya, which the United States has previously frozen, according to the sources.
– make it a zone of freedom
US President Donald Trump has previously stated that he wants a so -called “freedom zone” in Gaza. It is not clear what such a plan in practice entails.
– I have concepts for Gaza that I think are very good – make it a zone of freedom. Let the United States get involved and make it a zone of freedom, he said during the visit to Qatar this week.
The idea was first launched in February. Then Trump said the United States would rebuild the Gaza Strip and force the Palestinians to go elsewhere. The statements were condemned throughout the world, and Palestinians, Arab nations and the UN said that the plans would involve ethnic cleansing, Reuters writes.
