On 2 March, the American Thinker website posted an article claiming that Government of National Unity (GNU) PM Abdul Hameed Dabaiba had told the US government that Libya will take 100,000 to 200,000 refugees from Gaza, following US President Trump’s plan announced on 5 February that the US would redevelop Gaza and forcibly relocate its entire population.
On 3 March, the PM’s Office denied the claims about Libya’s readiness to receive Palestinian refugees, stating that these allegations are completely fabricated and have not been made by any Libyan official. The PM’s Office also stressed that Libya’s policies are announced only through official channels and reiterated Libya’s firm stand supporting the Palestinian cause and the rights of the Palestinian people.
