US reportedly developing plan to resettle 1 million Gazans in Libya
[IsraelTimes] NBC News says proposal is serious enough to have been discussed with Libyan leaders; unclear where in the North African country the Palestinians would live, or how they’d get there

The Trump administration is working on a plan to permanently relocate as much as one million Paleostinians from the Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with a rusty iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
Strip to Libya, NBC News reported Friday, citing five people with knowledge of the matter.
Definitely thinking outside the box…
The plan is under serious enough consideration that the US has discussed it with Libya’s leadership, the report said, while stressing a final agreement has yet to be reached.

In exchange for resettling the Paleostinians, the administration would release to Libya billions of dollars of funds the US froze more than a decade ago, NBC added.

According to three of the sources quoted in the report, Israel has been kept in the loop about the administration’s talks on the matter.

"These reports are untrue," an administration spokesperson told NBC in response. ""The situation on the ground is untenable for such a plan. Such a plan was not discussed and makes no sense."

There was no response from Israel or either of Libya’s two rival governments the report, which also said administration officials have discussed offering incentives such as free housing and possibly a financial stipend to encourage Paleostinians to leave Gaza for the North African country.

An official told the US network that it remains unclear where one million Paleostinians from Gaza could be settled in the largely lawless Libya, which has been plunged into chaos and division since the 2011 civil war in which longtime dictator Muammar Qadaffy
...The late megalomaniac dictator of Libya, admired everywhere for his garish costumes, funny hats, harem of cutie bodyguards, and incoherent ravings. As far as is known, he is the only person who's ever declared jihad on Switzerland...>
was tossed and killed.

The NBC report also noted the logistical challenges involved in transporting one million people from Gaza to Libya, particularly with no airport in the Strip.

US President Donald Trump
...So far he's been unkillable, and they've tried....
triggered global perplexity in early February by suggesting the US "take over" Gaza and turn it into a "Middle East Riviera" while forcing its Paleostinian inhabitants to relocate to Egypt, Jordan, or other countries. He has since said, however, that no Gazooks would be expelled.

Visiting the Middle East this week, Trump said he wanted the United States to "take" Gaza and turn it into a "freedom zone": "I have concepts for Gaza that I think are very good. Make it a freedom zone. Let the United States get involved and make it just a freedom zone," he said. "I’d be proud to have the United States have it, take it, make it a freedom zone."

While far-right ministers in Israel have urged using the ongoing war with Hamas
..the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,...
as an opportunity to reestablish Israeli settlements in the Strip lauded the plan, the Paleostinian Authority and Arab nations rejected it outright.

Despite public opposition among the region’s leaders, the government has moved forward with plans to encourage Paleostinians to relocate, though The Times of Israel found no meaningful change in Israel’s exit policy for Gaza residents in recent months.

#4 Nobody wants to kill a Libyan over perceived 'unfairness' over a Gazan! Take the Gazans out of Israel, you take away the problem!
