"I know it's a little risky to be investing in a place like this, but come, take faith. Invest in the people," Kushner said. Two years of genocide have altered Gaza into a flattened wasteland, with over 90 percent of residential buildings lying in ruins. Yet, despite the so-called ceasefire, the interests that are profiting from its collapse and exploiting its devastation have never truly withdrawn."
"Trump had proposed clearing the area of its inhabitants and turning it into the "Riviera of the Middle East," a vision depicted in an AI-generated video shared by the U.S. president in 2025. It is an unoriginal approach to imposing free-market economy principles on Gaza: Shimon Peres had previously envisioned the transformation of Gaza into another Singapore."
"Aligning with these free-market interests, Kushner set a $25 billion budget to reconstruct Gaza within three years, under specific frameworks and conditions. He also called on the private sector to invest."
Jared Kushner, former U.S. special envoy, unveiled a comprehensive reconstruction plan for Gaza at the World Economic Forum in Davos. The proposal includes coastal tourism sites, 180 skyscrapers, business centers, over 100,000 housing units, 200 schools, and 75 medical facilities, with a $25 billion budget for completion within three years. Trump previously suggested clearing Gaza's population to transform it into the "Riviera of the Middle East," comparing the potential to Singapore's development. The plan emphasizes free-market economy principles and private sector investment. However, Gaza currently lies largely in ruins following two years of conflict, with over 90 percent of residential buildings destroyed.
