White House considers accepting some Palestinians from Gaza as refugees amid Israel-Hamas war
Fox News
The Biden administration is considering admitting certain Palestinians to the U.S. as refugees as they attempt to flee war-torn Gaza.
One proposal involves using the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program to bring Palestinians with U.S. connections who have escaped Gaza and entered neighboring Egypt, the documents reveal.
U.S. officials have also considered welcoming additional Palestinians out of Gaza and are processing them as refugees if they have American relatives, according to the documents. This proposal would have to rely on coordination with Egypt, which has thus far been reluctant to welcome large numbers of people from Gaza.
