Vice President Kamala Harris said in a meeting Saturday with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi that Washington will not allow for the forced relocation of Palestinians or any redrawing of the current border of the Gaza Strip.

“Under no circumstances will the United States permit the forced relocation of Palestinians from Gaza or the West Bank, the besiegement of Gaza, or the redrawing of the borders of Gaza,” Harris said, according to a statement from the vice president’s office.

    For example, you can look up the Palestinians in Lebanon that are being kept in camps and are heavily discriminated against since 1948.

    They are barred from naturalisation, legally barred from owning property, and although Lebanon hands out and renews hundreds of thousands of work permits every year to people from Africa, Asia and other Arab countries, only a handful have been given to Palestinians.
    There are nearly half a million Palestinians in Lebanon.
    No one seems to care about this though.
