Washington - Is this the future of Gaza? After US President Donald Trump (79) mooted a "Riviera" for the Palestinian Territory months ago and said that the US could "take over" the enclave, the plans now appear to be clearly taking shape.
BILD has obtained a 38-page document from the Trump administration containing plans for industry, infrastructure, and smart, planned cities with skyscrapers. The Washington Post also reported earlier. It is unclear how deeply Trump is involved in individual details.
The "GREAT" plan ("Gaza Reconstitution, Economic Acceleration and Transformation") envisions Gaza under US trusteeship for at least ten years, "until a reformed and de-radicalized Palestinian authority is ready to take its place."
The area is to be transformed into a tourism and high-tech hub. The two million residents would temporarily emigrate "voluntarily" or move to secure zones.
This is what Trump's "GREAT" plan for Gaza says.
▶︎ No US government funding: The plan would be financed through investments from the private sector and "Arab and other countries," organized as a "multilateral institution."....
.....at least someone (beside Hamas) has a plan....could really get interesting!
...▶︎ Compensation for Palestinians: Property owners are to receive "digital tokens" for redevelopment or housing in new "AI-powered cities." Those who leave will receive $5,000 plus subsidies for rent and food - for up to four years.
▶︎ Administration and security: Israel would transfer powers to the "GREAT" trust, but retain "overriding rights to safeguard its security needs" for the first year. After that, there would be a transition to "local police forces."
A controversial detail: Western companies are explicitly named as partners and investors on several pages of the plan. This includes Ikea on page 21.
In response to a BILD inquiry, Ikea Germany stated: "This information is new and unexpected for us. Inter IKEA Systems B.V., as the global IKEA franchisor and owner of the IKEA brands, is not aware of this initiative and can confirm that we have not authorized the use of the IKEA logo in this context."
Megaprojects of the "GREAT" Plan
The "GREAT" Plan encompasses several major projects designed to transform Gaza into a thriving, green city of the future.
▶︎ Roads (and trams): Construction of a ring road, the "MBS Highway" - named after the Saudi Crown Prince, who is expected to donate a lot of money - as well as a tram and a north-south highway.
▶︎ A new port and airport would be built in the far south, with direct land connections to Egypt, Saudi Arabia, and Israel.
The large-scale projects are intended to provide Gaza with infrastructure, industry, and quality of life, among other things.
▶︎ Supply: A water desalination plant and a solar field on Egypt's Sinai Peninsula are intended to supply Gaza with water and electricity.
▶︎ "Smart Industry": A megaproject is to be built on Israel's border, featuring an "Elon Musk Smart Manufacturing Zone," American electric car companies, and regional data centers to supply Israel and the Gulf states.
▶︎ Riviera: Trump's prestige project, the "Gaza-Trump Riviera," with beach resorts and artificial islands modeled on Dubai, is to be built on the western shore of the enclave.
▶︎ Large residential complexes: Buildings of up to 20 stories in six to eight "AI-powered cities" are intended to accommodate millions of Palestinians.
Why the hell not?
