Trump Weighs Bold Gaza Plan: $5,000 to Voluntarily Relocate, Transforming Region Into Tech Hub
Townhall ^ | 09/01/2025 | Sarah Arnold

President Donald Trump is reportedly reviewing a proposal to offer Gaza residents $5,000 each to voluntarily leave the region, as part of a larger plan to redevelop Gaza into a tech and trade hub backed by Israeli and Gulf investment.

The 38-page plan, reported by The Washington Post, outlines a temporary relocation of Gaza’s two million residents, either to other countries or into secure zones within Gaza during reconstruction. Those who own land would be compensated with digital tokens that could be used to finance relocation or redeemed for housing in newly built “smart cities.”

The proposal, known as the GREAT Trust, was developed by Israeli organizers behind the U.S.- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, with financial planning assistance from a former team at Boston Consulting Group. It calls for the temporary relocation of Gaza’s two million residents—either voluntarily to other countries or into secure zones within Gaza during redevelopment. Landowners would receive digital tokens in exchange for redevelopment rights, which could be used for resettlement or future housing in planned smart cities.

Those who choose to leave would be given $5,000 in cash, along with four years of rent subsidies and one year of food aid. The plan estimates that 25 percent of Gazans would leave, and most of them would not return to Gaza.

In addition to the $5,000 cash payment, each person who leaves would receive four years of rent subsidies and a year’s worth of food assistance. The goal is to replace Hamas-controlled Gaza with a secure, economically viable region integrated into Trump’s broader India-Middle East-Europe Corridor initiative. The plan positions Gaza as a potential gateway for trade and data between Europe, Asia, and the Gulf.

Unlike past efforts focused on diplomatic stalemates, Trump’s proposal offers a transactional path forward: cash and opportunity in exchange for peace and stability

We’ve flushed BILLIONS down the Gaza shithole before to no permanent effect - REPEATEDLY.

LET’S NOT BE FOOLISH ENOUGH TO REPEAT PAST MISTAKES!

5000 dollars times the 375,000 anticipated to take the offer equals 1.875 billion dollars.

If that could bring peace in that part of the world, $2 billion is money well worth spending... That’s a big IF!

Stupidest idea I have heard this year...unless of course, the idea is to spend money like spraying water from a fire hose. Then it would be awesome.

The more we play with the Gaza turd, the more Gazan and Israeli crap we will get on America’s fingers.

“If that could bring peace in that part of the world, $2 billion is money well worth spending... “

Then Israel or Europe should do it. Peace in that part of the world is not worth one damned US penny.
And it’s truly deranged to think this conflict can be solved like a deal buying out landowners in the way of a shopping center.

This will not bring peace. Israel will still want more Lebensraum.

5000 to relocate to a new country isn’t a lot of money
Why did most Christian Palestinians leave on their own past 40 plus years
The Muslims stay

Gotta break em up somehow

The way they breed

Got a better idea? Because 80 years of the same ol same ol hasn’t worked. If your idea is even eradicating the area good luck with that plan because more will backfill the loss. Rinse and repeat. However, if you can change lives and minds, that is something thing entirely different.

Israel/US Plan. I am not impressed. In fact, I get less impressed, and more depressed every day.
Waiting for the show in Venezuela. Deploy a nuclear sub to fight drug cartels. Print more money. 🤑

I read the story and wondered who came up with 375,000 to begin with.

They will go to the USA or Europe. Hardly a win for the free world. Not only that, but suddenly the population of Gaza will grow overnight.

Who would pay for this? The answer better not include me. I'm still waiting to see a penny back to me from the DOGE cuts.

Israel should have bought the Trump wall segments Biden was selling for pennies on the dollar.

Gazans belong in Hell and not elsewhere, but Gaza is now pretty close, so let them stay there.

Gazans are about the most hate-filled people on Earth.
