All Palestinians out of Gaza : Landowners will be offered a digital token in exchange for development rights. The token can be used to finance their lives outside the Strip or to buy an apartment in the new"smart, AI-powered cities" that will also be built in the Strip. Everyone else, however, will be given five thousand dollars in cash, subsidies to cover four years' rent elsewhere, as well as a year's worth of food. The Washington Post publishes the contents of a 38-page document drafted by the Donald Trump administration, which outlines the post-war reconstruction of the Gaza Strip. Under this framework, the United States would maintain control of the area for at least a decade.
The Middle Eastern Riviera
The document calls for the creation of a"Middle Eastern Riviera" and the establishment of a US technology hub. According to the dossier revealed by the Post, the depopulated and rebuilt Gaza Strip is designated as a center for private industry , with companies such as Tesla and Amazon Web Services. Called the ‘Gaza Reconstitution, Economic Acceleration and Transformation Trust,’ or ‘Great Trust ,’ the proposal was drafted by some of the same Israelis who created and launched the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), backed by the United States and Israel, which now distributes food inside the enclave.
The summit at the White House
The Washington Post points out that it's unclear whether the detailed and comprehensive Great Trust proposal is what Trump has in mind or discussed at the recent White House meeting, which also included Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, former British Prime Minister Tony Blair , and the president's son-in-law Jared Kushner. But its key elements, according to two people familiar with the planning, were specifically designed to realize the president's vision of a"Middle East Riviera." And indeed, reading the contents of the document does seem to reveal the now-familiar.
100 billion plan
Calculations included in the plan project a nearly fourfold return on a $100 billion investment after 10 years, with continued “self-generated” revenue streams. The plan seen by the WP envisions at least a temporary relocation of all of Gaza’s more than two million residents, through what it calls “voluntary” departures to another country or to designated, protected zones within the enclave during reconstruction. The plan estimates that each individual departure from Gaza would save the trust $23,000, compared to the cost of temporary housing and what the trust calls “life-support” services in safe zones for those who remain. The financial planning was handled by a team then working for the Boston Consulting Group.
The roles of the Emirates and Saudi Arabia
The United States would maintain full control of the enclave for at least a decade, gradually transferring control tasks to the local police from what the document describes as “Western PMCs,” aka private military companies. The document also discusses the involvement of Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, mentioning infrastructure such as the Mbs ring highway and tramway and the Mbz highway. Mbs is the acronym for Mohammed bin Salman, crown prince of Saudi Arabia , while Mbz stands for Mohammed bin Zayed, ruler of the United Arab Emirates.
Trump's February promise to take control and redevelop Gaza provided both a green light and a roadmap to the group of Israeli businessmen, led by businessmen Michael Eisenberg, an Israeli-American, and Liran Tancman, a former Israeli military intelligence officer. According to sources familiar with the planning, they had already handed over the GHF project to the contractors and were focusing on the post-war problem, consulting with international financial and humanitarian experts, potential government and private investors, and some Palestinians.
