"In the beginning, we were toying with the idea of saying, Let's build a free zone, and then we have a Hamas zone. And then we said, You know what? Let's just plan for catastrophic success. We, Hamas, signed a deal to demilitarize. That is what we are going to enforce. People ask us what our Plan B is. We do not have a Plan B. We have a plan."
"And then New Gaza. It could be a hope, it could be a destination, have a lot of industry, and really be a place that the people there can thrive, have great employment. Once this starts going, we think there should be 100 percent full employment and opportunity for everybody there. And we have a lot of data on what can be, but we think that this really gives the Gazan people an opportunity to live their aspirations."
Jared Kushner unveiled a master plan to redevelop Gaza into a coastal tourism zone featuring 180 towers and phased workforce housing. The plan conditions reconstruction on a formal demilitarization of Hamas and emphasizes enforcement of a signed agreement with no Plan B. Timelines cited include building large-scale cities in two to three years, with initial demolition and rubble removal already underway. The vision promotes New Gaza as a destination with industry, full employment, and opportunities for Gazan aspirations. The presentation was linked to a Board of Peace and provoked widespread public ridicule.
