Gaza postwar plan envisions ‘voluntary’ relocation of entire population

The Trump administration and international partners are discussing proposals to build a “Riviera of the Middle East” on the rubble of Gaza. One would establish U.S. control and pay Palestinians to leave.

A postwar plan for Gaza circulating within the Trump administration, modeled on President Donald Trump’s vow to “take over” the enclave, would turn it into a trusteeship administered by the United States for at least 10 years while it is transformed into a gleaming tourism resort and high-tech manufacturing and technology hub.

The 38-page prospectus seen by The Washington Post envisions at least a temporary relocation of all of Gaza’s more than 2 million population, either through what it calls “voluntary” departures to another country or into restricted, secured zones inside the enclave during reconstruction.

Those who own land would be offered a digital token by the trust in exchange for rights to redevelop their property, to be used to finance a new life elsewhere or eventually redeemed for an apartment in one of six to eight new “AI-powered, smart cities” to be built in Gaza. Each Palestinian who chooses to leave would be given a $5,000 cash payment and subsidies to cover four years of rent elsewhere, as well as a year of food.

The plan estimates that every individual departure from Gaza would save the trust $23,000, compared with the cost of temporary housing and what it calls “life support” services in the secure zones for those who stay.

Called the Gaza Reconstitution, Economic Acceleration and Transformation Trust, or GREAT Trust, the proposal was developed by some of the same Israelis who created and set in motion the U.S.- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) now distributing food inside the enclave. Financial planning was done by a team working at the time for the Boston Consulting Group.

I recall the debate at FR twenty years ago when Israel was pressured to give the Palis a practice state of their own in Gaza.

Bad move. Should have listened to Freepers.

“Saudis Arabia has plenty of open space.”

There is a Saudi megaproject they are working on right now called “The Line.”

According to the Wiki...

“The Line (stylised THE LINE; Arabic: ذا لاين) is a planned smart city in Neom, Tabuk Province, Saudi Arabia, to be housed in a single very long building—a linear settlement—that is designed to have no cars, streets or carbon emissions.[3][4] The plan is for the city to span 170 kilometres (110 mi) at a height of 500 m (1,600 ft)[5] and a width of 200 metres (660 ft), sized to accommodate a population of 9 million, 25% of Saudi Arabia’s 2022 population of 35.5 million.[6] The Line is planned to have an entirely glass mirror exterior,[6] with all basic services within a five-minute walking distance.”

Send them all to France!

And in particular to the French territory called Devil's Island.

No, I meant metropolitan France, to speed up a civil war between the French and Muslims there the same way the French are sending Muslims to Britain. Plus I want the British to send all their lefties yo France after the coming British civil war. I take the long view.
