U.S. Considers Relocating 1 Million Palestinians to War-Torn Libya
Have you heard about the latest U.S. plan regarding Gaza? It's making headlines—and raising eyebrows around the world. Reports are emerging that the Trump administration is seriously exploring a plan to permanently relocate up to one million Palestinians from the devastated Gaza Strip to Libya, a country still reeling from civil war and political division. I mean, can you imagine? Moving an entire population—families, children, the elderly—from one crisis zone to another?
According to multiple sources, this proposal has been discussed with Libya’s leadership, and in return, the U.S. might release billions of dollars in frozen Libyan assets. The idea, reportedly, is part of Trump's broader vision for rebuilding Gaza post-war—except it hinges on removing the people who actually live there.
Now let’s put this into perspective: Libya is a country still deeply unstable, divided between two rival governments and plagued by violence, terrorism, and infrastructure collapse. The U.S. State Department even advises against all travel there. And yet, this is being floated as a destination for displaced Palestinians? It feels surreal.

Trump has openly stated that he doesn’t see a future for Palestinians in Gaza, describing his vision of developing the area into what he calls "the Riviera of the Middle East." But to get there, he believes the population needs to be resettled elsewhere. His words, not mine. He’s talked about providing “nice homes” and stipends to Palestinians in Libya—but there's no clear plan for how such a massive relocation would even work. I mean, we’re talking about transporting up to a million people by land, sea, or air. That’s a logistical and humanitarian nightmare.
Critics are already calling this plan dangerous, unrealistic, and deeply insensitive. Arab nations have historically opposed forced or incentivized resettlement of Palestinians, and even within the U.S., both Republicans and Democrats have expressed doubts. One official compared it to the U.S. trying to absorb 46 million people at once.
Let’s not forget: Palestinians aren’t just refugees. They are people rooted deeply in their land, their culture, and their history. Many have already endured generations of displacement. This isn’t about offering safety—it sounds more like erasure.
And Libya? It's barely holding together. Adding a million more people could push the country beyond its already fragile limits. This plan isn’t just controversial—it’s reckless.
The situation in Gaza is tragic, no doubt. But removing its people instead of stopping the war or easing the humanitarian blockade isn't a solution. It’s shifting the crisis rather than resolving it. If anything, what Gaza needs is peace, not a second exile.
