Libya announced its absolute rejection of any practices aimed at the forced displacement or arbitrary expulsion of Palestinians, or changing the demographic composition of the occupied territories, or imposing racist policies that perpetuate the occupation.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Government of National Unity renewed in a statement published on Thursday Libya's firm position in support of the rights of the Palestinian people, which are guaranteed by international legitimacy through successive UN resolutions, most notably the right of the Palestinian people to establish their independent state with Jerusalem as its capital.
The Ministry expressed the Libya's strong condemnation of any form of political violence or hate crimes targeting Palestinians. It stressed that such practices constitute a flagrant violation of international law, international criminal law, and relevant Security Council resolutions, and represent a serious threat to regional and international peace and security, as well as undermine efforts aimed at achieving a comprehensive solution.
The statement also reiterated Libya's affirmation that a comprehensive political solution is the only way to achieve lasting peace, through activating the Arab Peace Initiative and implementing relevant international legitimacy resolutions, ensuring the end of the Israeli occupation, the establishment of an independent Palestinian state, and guaranteeing the right of Palestinian refugees to return.
The statement also urged the international community to assume its responsibilities more seriously, and not to allow the use of force as a means to impose a new reality on the ground.
US President Donald Trump said in a joint press conference with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu that Israel would hand over the Gaza Strip to the United States after the end of the fighting, and Palestinians who live there would be resettled in "safer and more beautiful communities with new and modern homes in the region," noting that he would impose on neighboring countries to receive the Palestinians after being displaced from Gaza.
