"A sweeping plan to reconstruct Gaza, which has been shared with Trump administration officials, features the names and logos of more than two dozen companies-some of which tell WIRED they had no knowledge they were named or involved. The presentation outlining the plan was reportedly created by some of the businessmen who helped ideate what became the controversial nonprofit the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, which is currently leading aid distribution in Gaza, calling for the creation of a new entity called a new entity called the Gaza Reconstitution, Economic Acceleration and Transformation (GREAT) Trust."
"In the presentation, logos from Tesla, Amazon Web Services, and Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacturing Company (TSMC) appear alongside bullet points about the benefit "private industry investment" may have in Gaza in terms of building out "key infrastructure" like data centers and "gigafactories." On one slide, the logos of several companies, including IKEA, appear alongside descriptions of large-scale "infrastructure rebuild" and "peacekeeping (optional)" in Gaza."
