A plan for the postwar in Gaza, revealed by the Washington Post This Sunday (31), it foresees that the United States manage the end-to-war enclave for at least a decade, turning it into a tourism and technology hub while promoting mass removal from the Palestinian population.
The 38 -page document, called Great Trust, provides for more than 2 million inhabitants to be displaced under the justification of “voluntary” exits, in exchange for financial compensation, or confined in restricted areas during reconstruction.
The proposal, developed by Israelis linked to the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), is presented as a lucrative project for investors, but represents, for Palestinians, the institutionalization of an expulsion and expropriation policy.
The prospect obtained by Washington Post details financial incentive mechanisms for the departure of Palestinians. Land owners would receive digital tokens in exchange for the rights of reurbanization of their properties.
These titles could be rescued in the future by apartments in one of the six to eight new “intelligent cities driven by AI planned for the enclave or used to finance a new life outside Gaza.
In addition, each Palestinian who agreed to leave the territory would be entitled to $ 5,000 in cash, four -year rental subsidies and one year of food.
The plan estimates that each voluntary match would represent a $ 23,000 savings to the fund compared to the costs of keeping Palestinians in “vital support” areas controlled during reconstruction.
Great Trust has been prepared by the same as GHF, an organization that distributes food in Gaza since May in coordination with the Israeli military and US private security companies.
The foundation of the foundation, however, is marked by controversy: according to the UN, more than a thousand Palestinians were killed trying to receive help from their distribution points, mostly shot by Israeli soldiers.
By incorporating GHF logic into a long -term plan, Great Trust expands criticism that this is a colonial initiative, which seeks to legitimize the removal of the Palestinian population while opening space for billionaire megaprojects.
The document states that the fund would not depend on donations, but would be funded by public-private investments, ensuring investors’ profits while drawing the displacement of an entire people.
Riviera over the ruins of Gaza
The Great Trust plan presents Gaza not as a Palestinian territory devastated by war, but as a space to be turned into a showcase for large international investors.
In the pages of the document, the enclave appears redesigned as a “Middle East Riviera”, with luxury resorts by the sea, artificial islands similar to those built in Dubai, residential skyscrapers and high-tech parks.
Projections include an “intelligent” industrial zone along the east border with Israel, designed to house electric vehicle factories and regional data centers.
In the far south, a new port and airport would be built, integrated by modern roads to the infrastructure of Egypt, Israel and Saudi Arabia.
Part of these megaprojects carries the names of Arab leaders: a circular highway nicknamed “MBS highway”, in reference to the Saudi Prince Mohammed Bin Salman, and a north-south road baptized with the name of Emirates President Mohammed Bin Zayed.
The initial financing would be guaranteed by the immediate appropriation of about 30% of Gaza lands, classified as “public” by the plans.
In marginal notes of internal documents, the trainers themselves recognized the risk that the operation would be seen as land expropriation, but still maintained the proposal as “the largest and easiest source of collateral.”
Based on this arrangement, background calculations estimate a return almost four times over ten years over an initial investment of $ 100 billion.
The promise is of a continuous flow of “self -generated” revenues from megaprojects that would go from construction to technological industries. The document even projects the creation of 1 million jobs in a territory today reduced to ruins, without drinking water, electricity or hospitals in operation.
A colonial view with historical comparisons
The authors of the plan do not hide the colonial character of the proposal. To justify the direct administration of Gaza by the United States, they compared Great Trust to US protectorate in Pacific after World War II and the role played by Douglas Macarthur in Japan and George Marshall in Germany.
The analogy reinforces the idea that the Gaza Strip would be treated as a territory under guardianship, waiting for a “reform” before being given to a local authority shaped to external interests.
The document provides that Gaza be administered for at least 10 years under American control, until a “renovated and disorderly Palestinian entity” is ready to assume power.
This future structure of government, according to the text, should integrate into Abraham’s agreements, signed by Trump in his first term to normalize relations between Israel and some Arab countries. There is no mention of the creation of a Palestinian state.
In the early years, the security of the territory would be guaranteed by “western” private military contractors and national countries, with progressively reduced acting until the transfer to a “trained local police”.
However, Israel would maintain general security rights to intervene whenever they deemed it necessary. The arrangement is described as a temporary mechanism, but in practice consolidates the Palestinian exclusion of decisions about its own territory.
By presenting Gaza as a central piece of a “pro-American” region, the plane inserts it in a larger geopolitical design that speaks of access to energy resources, strategic minerals and regional logistics corridors.
Thus, the project is no longer just a reconstruction proposal and affirms itself as a project of economic and political domination, where the Palestinian population is reduced to the disposable variable.
Palestinian reaction and new visa restrictions
The mass expulsion proposals have already aroused strong repudiation among Palestinians. “I refuse to be taken to another country, Muslim or not. This is my homeland,” Abu Mohamed, 55, told Washington Post.
Palestinian survives in Gaza in a partially destroyed house in Khan Youis. His speech echoes the indignation of humanitarian organizations that classify the plan as an attempt to disguise ethnic cleaning under the appearance of voluntary matches.
While the Great Trust prospect circulates, Trump administration adopts concrete measures to isolate Palestinians abroad.
No Sunday (31), or New York Times He revealed that Washington suspended the issuance of almost every visitor visas for Palestinian passport.
The measure prevents medical treatment, university studies, visits to family members and commercial activities, reaching both Palestinians from West Bank and Diaspora.
The State Department confirmed the decision and ordered consulates to apply section 221 (g) of the 1952 immigration and nationality law to mass refuse requests.
The order even reaches the president of the Palestinian Authority, Mahmoud Abbas, and about 80 other leaders, prohibited from traveling to the UN General Assembly that will take place in September.
The Abbas Cabinet expressed “deep grief and astonishment”, asking for the reversal of the measure.
Former US employees criticized the decision. Hala Rharrit, who left the State Department in protest against Gaza politics, classified the measure as an “open refusal.”
Immigration experts claim that this is a political decision designed to support Israel’s position and prevent Palestinian voices from reporting the massacre in international forums. For thousands of families with relatives in the United States, the decision represents another layer of separation and injustice.
