Did the U.S. agree with Canada to accept 100K 'Palestinians'?

According to the Lebanon-based newspaper Al Akhbar, there is supposedly an agreement between the United States and Canada for the latter to receive 100,000 Muslims from Lebanon and Syria.

 Al Akhbar reported that an official source said the understanding is that Canada will receive 40,000 immigrants from Lebanon and another 60,000 from Syria. In addition, the source said that Spain is to receive 16,000 people from Lebanon, and there are agreements with France and Belgium as well. This will eliminate the cost of migration from $12,000 to $7,000 per person.

The representative of Hamas in Lebanon, Ahmed Abdel-Hadi, told the Arab news outlet that part of the Deal of the Century aims to resettle between 75,000 to 100,000 Palestinians in Lebanon and displace the rest to more than one country. 

Why they want to leave such traditional Islamic countries to migrate to the infidel West is a mystery, but over the last four years around 40,000 so-called Palestinians high-tailed it out of Lebanon both through legal and illegal methods.

Now Canada is flatly denying the Al Akhbar report that claims the country plans to take in so many immigrants. This denial may be due, in part, to the impending federal elections that will take place this year on or before October 21 and the fear many politicians have over the immigration controversy.

"Canada is a welcoming country to people from around the world, but it is important that people rely on accurate information before starting their journey," Mathieu Genest, press secretary for the Ministry of Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada told The Jerusalem Post.

"There are no special programs currently being considered to resettle people from Lebanon or Syria. Little information is publicly available about who registered or is responsible for the content. We chose to correct the disinformation to remind both prospective immigrants and Canadians that accurate information is available through Government of Canada websites," he added.

Genest said that Canada "regularly monitor[s] for online misinformation and disinformation. When false information is being circulated, as in this case, we aim to act quickly to provide facts.

It seems that Canada has no reason to lie about whether they had planned on taking in so many immigrants.
