Postwar Plan For Gaza Proposes U.S. Administration For At Least 10 Years And Relocation Of 2 Million People

A postwar plan for Gaza proposes the U.S. administers the enclave for at least 10 years while a reconstruction effort takes place. The 2 million people living there would either "voluntarily" relocate or be taken to a restricted security zone during the period, according to the report seen by the Washington Post.

The plan is called the Gaza Reconstitution, Economic Acceleration and Transformation Trust, or GREAT Trust. It was developed by some of those who created the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) which distributes food in different centers across the enclave and has been mired in controversy.

The outlet added that those who own land would be offered a digital token by the trust in exchange for rights to develop the area. They could then use the token as funds to begin a life elsewhere or change it for an apartment after the rebuilding period.

The plan contemplates the building of between six and eight "AI-powered, smart cities" that would be built in the enclave. For those who leave, the token would amount to $5,000, four years of rent and a year worth of food. The plan also believes that each departure would save the trust $23,000 when compared to the cost of housing and supporting people in the security zone.

The report comes a few days after President Donald Trump hosted a meeting to discuss ideas for how to end the war and the scenario after. The meeting was attended by presidential envoy Steve Witkoff, former British prime minister Tony Blair and Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, who handled several Middle East affairs during the first administration.

The plan would entail an investment of $100 billion but envisions a fourfold return for investors. Trump floated earlier this year the possibility of the U.S. taking over administration of the enclave, saying he would like to turn it into the "Riviera of the Middle East." Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has not laid out a clear view for Gaza beyond his vow to remove Hamas from power and the fact that the war is nearing the two-year mark.
