The US is reportedly considering relocating up to one million Palestinians from Gaza to Libya, NBC reported, citing sources. In return, Washington may unfreeze $30 billion in Libyan funds. The plan has sparked outrage, with critics calling it a violation of international law and Palestinian rights. Libya remains unstable with rival governments vying for power. The Trump administration has denied the claim, calling it “untrue.” Discussions allegedly included Israeli and Libyan leadership, but no final deal has been reached. Human rights groups have condemned the potential displacement.

With the U.S. and Iran set to meet in Oman for nuclear negotiations, pressure is mounting on Tehran to scale back its atomic ambitions. But despite threats of “great danger” from Donald Trump and increasing sanctions from the West, Iran stands firm. Why?
The story goes beyond politics—into history. After Iraq fell in 2003, Libyan leader Muammar Gaddafi surrendered his weapons of mass destruction in exchange for Western acceptance. Less than a decade later, NATO backed the uprising that ended in his violent overthrow. To Iran, Gaddafi’s fate is a cautionary tale, not a diplomatic success.
