Post-war plan sees US administering Gaza for at least a decade: report
Plan reportedly involves the temporary relocation of Palestinians and redevelopment of the war-torn enclave
A post-war plan for Gaza is circulating within US President Donald Trump’s administration that would see the United States administer the war-torn enclave for at least a decade, the relocation of Gaza’s population and its rebuilding as a tourist resort and manufacturing hub, The Washington Post reported on Sunday.
The newspaper said that, according to a 38-page prospectus it had seen, Gaza’s 2 million population would at least temporarily leave either through “voluntary” departures to another country or into restricted areas within the territory during reconstruction.
Anyone who owns land would be offered a “digital token” in exchange for rights to redevelop their property, The Washington Post reported, adding that each Palestinian who left would be provided with US$5,000 in cash and subsidies to cover four years of rent. They would also be provided with a year of food, it added.
The newspaper said the plan is called the “Gaza Reconstitution, Economic Acceleration and Transformation Trust, or GREAT Trust”, and was developed by the GHF.
