Marco Rubio, the US Secretary of State, denied claims that his country intends to deport Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to Libya, Anadolu Agency reported on May 20th.
“No, there’s no deportation. What we have talked to some nations about is if someone voluntarily and willingly says: ‘I want to go somewhere else,'” Rubio said. He added: “Are there countries in the region willing to accept them for some period of time?”
Rubio explained that possible transfers of people will be short-term strategies to lessen humanitarian issues, rather than lasting relocation. He emphasised that he does not want people to be “trapped.”
