"Glittering towers lining the Mediterranean coastline, a New Gaza and New Rafah in the offing, with more than 100,000 housing units alongside orderly industrial parks and even a new airport. All without consultation with the people this development is supposed to benefit. This is the skeleton of a masterplan for post-war Gaza, presented by Jared Kushner, United States President Donald Trump's son-in-law and a real estate developer, at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland this week."
"There is no Plan B, said Kushner, as he unveiled the ambitious plan. Israel's genocidal war on Gaza has killed more than 71,000 Palestinians with thousands more missing and presumed dead under the rubble in Gaza since October 7, 2023, the day Hamas launched an attack on villages and army outposts in southern Israel and Israel began its bombardment. More than 470 Palestinians have been killed since a ceasefire was announced by Trump on October 10 last year."
"Presented as a plan to rebuild the Palestinian territory, the Trump administration's proposal this week, however, offers no insight into core issues such as property and land rights let alone justice for war crimes amid plans to construct shimmering buildings atop an estimated 68 million tonnes of rubble and war debris, where thousands of bodies remain buried. Praising the redevelopment plan, Trump, who also spoke at length at the forum in Davos, argued that the war in Gaza was really coming to an end,"
Glittering towers, New Gaza and New Rafah, more than 100,000 housing units, industrial parks, and a new airport form the skeleton of a masterplan presented by Jared Kushner at Davos. The plan envisions construction atop an estimated 68 million tonnes of rubble and war debris where thousands of bodies remain buried. The proposal offers no clarity on property and land rights or accountability and justice for war crimes. The unveiling occurred while Israeli bombardment and ground operations continued, with more than 71,000 Palestinians killed since October 7, 2023 and thousands missing. The plan proceeded without consultation with the population it aims to benefit.
