"As President Donald Trump formally inaugurated his so-called Board of Peace at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Thursday, his son-in-law Jared Kushner presented his vision of turning the Gaza Strip into an upscale seaside resort with gleaming skyscrapers and entirely new cities. The proposal is said to require an investment of at least $25 billion, and Kushner's presentation showed a map of the besieged territory divided into different zones."
""It's hard to take these people seriously. I mean, they're buffoonish. But the problem is, is that they control the largest military and economy in the world," says Sharif Abdel Kouddous, the Middle East and North Africa editor at Drop Site News. He calls the Board of Peace "a parody of a colonial body" and says the plan for Gaza will result in "ultimate control and subjugation" of the Palestinian population."
President Donald Trump inaugurated the Board of Peace at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland. Jared Kushner presented a proposal to transform the Gaza Strip into an upscale, futuristic seaside resort with gleaming skyscrapers and entirely new cities. The plan reportedly requires at least $25 billion and included a map dividing the besieged territory into zones. The first phase would rebuild Rafah, which was leveled by Israeli attacks. Palestinians in Gaza face severe shortages of food and shelter amid ongoing Israeli restrictions on aid. Critics characterize the Board of Peace as a parody of colonial control and warn the plan would impose ultimate control and subjugation.
