Washington: In a shocking revelation, it has come to light that US President Donald Trump's administration has made a secret plan to permanently relocate about 1 million Palestinian citizens from the war-torn Gaza Strip to Libya. This proposal has reportedly been prepared in the name of safety of citizens and regional stability during the ongoing violence in Gaza and the Israel-Palestine conflict. The revelation of Trump's plan has created a stir.

Objective and background of the scheme

The plan aims to "evacuate" the Gaza Strip, giving Israel a free hand to carry out military action in the areas and displace the Palestinian population under the guise of a humanitarian crisis. According to reports, some senior officials in the Trump administration have proposed the idea of ​​resettling Gaza's millions of residents in a North African country like Libya, which already has internal conflict and an unstable regime.

Nature and criticism of the proposal

The plan has been prepared as a secret strategic proposal and has been initially discussed in the US State Department and National Security Advisor offices. However, it is not clear whether it was ever adopted as a formal policy. Human rights groups and Middle East affairs experts have strongly criticized this plan. They say that this proposal violates international law and human rights. 

Why mention Libya?

Libya was made the main destination in this plan because it is a country that has been struggling with political and social instability for years and is considered more open to Western intervention. According to the report, some strategists of the Trump administration believed that displaced citizens of Gaza could be settled in Libya for a long time, which would facilitate Israel to establish military dominance over Gaza.

UN warned

After the news of this plan came to light, Palestinian officials and international human rights organizations have described it as a plot of "ethnic cleansing". The United Nations and other international bodies have also warned several times before that forced population displacement from the Gaza Strip could pose a serious threat to international peace.

Biden administration's position

The Joe Biden administration has said it has nothing to do with the plan and has stressed that the Gaza crisis can only be resolved through political and diplomatic measures, not forced displacement.
