Senator Marco Rubio clarified on Tuesday that the United States has not engaged in talks regarding the deportation of Palestinians from Gaza to Libya. However, he mentioned that the US has explored the possibility of other countries in the region accepting Gazans who may wish to relocate voluntarily. Rubio highlighted the importance of voluntary relocation due to health reasons or educational opportunities for children. He confirmed that discussions did not involve Libya as a potential destination. Additionally, Rubio updated the Senate foreign relations committee on the resumption of food shipments to Gaza, indicating that more aid is expected to reach the region soon. (Source: TimesLive)
