An outlined proposal called GREAT envisions transforming Gaza into a string of high-tech megacities under a US trusteeship for at least a decade. The plan would relocate Gaza's entire population of more than 2 million people, encouraging voluntary departure abroad or confinement to restricted zones during reconstruction. Landowners would receive digital tokens in exchange for redevelopment rights to finance relocation. Remaining residents would be rehoused in tiny units of about 323 sq ft. The proposal was developed by some individuals linked to the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation with financial planning from Boston Consulting Group. Critics call the proposal ethnic cleansing or potentially genocidal.
The Washington Post published on Sunday a leaked prospectus for the plan, which would see the forced displacement of Gaza's entire population of 2 million people, and put the territory into a US trusteeship for at least a decade. Named the Gaza Reconstitution, Economic Acceleration and Transformation Trust or GREAT the proposal was reportedly developed by some of the same Israelis who created and set in motion the US- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) with financial planning contributed by Boston Consulting Group.
Most controversially, the 38-page plan suggests what it calls temporary relocation of all of Gaza's more than 2 million population a proposal that would amount to ethnic cleansing, potentially a genocidal act. Palestinians would be encouraged into voluntary departure to another country or into restricted, secure zones during reconstruction. Those who own land would be offered a digital token by the trust in exchange for rights to redevelop their property, to be used to finance a new life elsewhere.
Those who stay would be housed in properties with a tiny footprint of 323 sq ft miniscule even by the standards of many non-refugee camp homes in Gaza. It was not clear if the plan reflects US policy, and neither the White House nor the State Department responded to the Washington Post's request for comment. But the prospectus seem to reflect Donald Trump's previously stated ambition to clean out Gaza and redevelop it.
