A plan for a post-war Gaza under US rule for at least 10 years is circulating in the administration of US President Donald Trump, reports the "Washington Post".
After that, Gaza is expected to be transformed into a tourist resort and a high-tech manufacturing and technology center.
The plan, called "Gaza Recovery, Economic Acceleration and Transformation Trust" (GREAT), was developed by Israelis who participated in the creation of the Humanitarian Foundation for Gaza (HFG). The financial planning was carried out by a team from the Boston Consulting Group.
The 38-page document, seen by the publication, envisages at least a temporary relocation of the entire population of more than 2 million people in Gaza, either through "voluntary" departure to another country or to limited, secure areas within the enclave during reconstruction.
Each Palestinian who decides to leave will receive $5,000 in compensation, funds to cover four years of rent, and a year of food supplies. Landowners will receive a digital token from the fund in exchange for development rights to their property, while also being given the option to use it to finance a new life elsewhere or trade it for an apartment.
The White House and State Department declined to comment at this time.
On Wednesday, Trump held a meeting at the White House to discuss how to end the war and what comes next. Among the participants were Secretary of State Marco Rubio and special presidential envoy Steve Witkoff; former British Prime Minister Tony Blair, whose views on the future of Gaza were sought by the administration; and Trump's son-in-law, Jared Kushner, who was responsible for much of the president's Middle East initiatives during his first term and has extensive private interests in the region.
No policy decisions were announced, although Witkoff said the night before the gathering that the administration had a "very comprehensive plan".
