Ministry of Transportation and Israel Ports, headed by Minister Israel Katz, has drawn up plans for how a seaport and airport built on an artificial island off the coast of the Gaza Strip would look. (Ministry of Transportation and Israel Ports)

Will that Palestinians claim that this is their ‘land’ too?

I wouldn’t be surprised.

You can take the resort out of Gaza, but it won’t work unless you keep the Gazans out of the resort.

The island can be authorized if the following criteria are met:
1) the island is floating on the water
2) the island is detachable from mainland
3) the island has a giant removable cork underneath
4) provide jobs and services so that at any given time, the majority of all Palestinians are on the island

How about a “Hamas Resort Island” that can be easily blown up?

Perhaps they can establish the first advanced college of horticulture, agriculture, and gelignite stealth weapons technology, with an ocean view.

“would give Palestinians living in the besieged enclave their one and only seaport — and maybe a hotel and an international airport, too.”

Clever move...
Their own Port to import terror supplies and their own Airfield to hijack aircraft from with minimum interference from any security.
Being offshore , very easy to observe.

What a complete waste of money that would be. What an ill-conceived idea.

Israel gave those hate filled Arabs all their agricultural infrastructure, huge value and all in place ready to be continued by the Arabs when Israel more than generously, ridiculous in fact, the whole of the Gaza and its coastal to the Arabs. Within 24 hours, the Arabs had literally destroyed everything that they could have used to pick up the agricultural enterprises and exports, etc.

These Arabs need to be repatriated in their ancestral land, which is Jordan. They came to Israel when they could see that that was going to be a prosperous, free place to live. Israel should not give them anything more. The rest of the world has made the Palestinians richer than anyone. Their leaders keep the money for themselves and use the rest for murderous propaganda and hate incitement.

What could Gaza possibly ever contribute to the world’s economy that would make this a worthwhile investment? It’s just casting pearls before swine.

Why build an airport? They already had an airport...they built it (likely with our money) as part of the Oslo Clinton legacy nonsense...and the Israeli’s bombed it 3 years later. In true mid-eastern madness, the Palestinians staffed the bombed out airport (again likely paid for with our money) for 5 more years.

If they put too many people on it, won’t it tip over?

Perhaps that’s the plan.

Good idea, economic development could be a positive. Were it not for their government. Hamas will never go for it anyway.
