"Washington Post": The US government mulls over plans to move operations away from Gaza

The Gaza Strip might be undergoing a significant transformation, as a proposed plan circulating within the U.S. government suggests resettlement of its population and the development of several megaprojects. This plan, reportedly called the GREAT Trust (Gaza Reconstruction, Economic Acceleration and Transformation Trust), has been met with international outrage and criticism since it was first proposed by the U.S. president in February.

According to the plan, each Palestinian willing to leave the Gaza Strip would receive $5,000 (approximately €4,280) and a year's supply of food. The two million Palestinian residents of the Gaza Strip could be encouraged to leave for another country or move to enclosed zones within the coastal strip. However, the plan does not specify the countries to which Palestinians would be resettled, if they were to be moved from the Gaza Strip.

The proposed plan includes the development of high-rise residential buildings, electric vehicle factories, data centers, beach resorts, and other megaprojects in the Gaza Strip. These projects aim to transform the region into a "Riviera of the Middle East". The U.S. newspaper "Washington Post" reported a 38-page plan, but the search results do not provide information about who developed the planning document.

Experts argue that mass resettlement of Palestinians, as proposed in the plan, could violate international law. Critics also express doubts about the funding and implementation of the plan, and they argue that mass resettlements to other countries in the region would be a destabilizing factor and a security risk for the Middle East.

Critics of the plan also argue that the U.S. takeover of the Gaza Strip, as suggested by the plan, could potentially place the region under a U.S.-administered trust for at least ten years. This proposal has sparked concerns about the political status of the Gaza Strip and the rights of its Palestinian residents, as the plan does not address these issues.

Despite the controversy surrounding the proposed plan, the U.S. government has not yet confirmed or denied its involvement in the plan. The future of the Gaza Strip remains uncertain, with many questioning the implications of such a transformation and the potential impact on its residents and the wider Middle East.
