US planning to 'relocate' up to one million Palestinians to Libya: Report

NBC News, citing five unnamed US officials, reported on Friday that the Trump administration plans to permanently "relocate" up to one million Palestinians to Libya.

In exchange, the US would potentially release to Libya billions of dollars of funds that were frozen more than a decade ago, NBC said. 

Hamas representative Basem Naim told NBC News he has no knowledge of such a plan. 

The US State Department's own Bureau of Consular Affairs has a "Level 4 - Do Not Travel" warning on its website about Libya.

This is due to "crime, terrorism, unexploded landmines, civil unrest, kidnapping, and armed conflict", the State Department said.
