White House Adviser Jared Kushner revealed a neocolonial plan to transform Gaza into a home for luxury tourist resorts and data centers at the World Economic Forum on Thursday.<\/p>\n
The plan has been widely condemned by human rights advocates, who say it is an an attempt to erase Palestinians by building a capitalist dystopia on the ruins of Israel\u2019s genocide.<\/p>\n
At the signing ceremony for President Donald Trump\u2019s \u201cBoard of Peace,\u201d Kushner\u00a0shared a set<\/a>\u00a0of slides depicting a colonialist fantasy of the Gaza Strip under a hypothetical \u201cdemilitarization\u201d of Hamas \u2014 despite\u00a0the group\u2019s<\/a>\u00a0repeated refusal to disarm, saying it would leave them defenseless against further attacks by Israel or otherwise.<\/p>\n The slides show computer-generated photos of high rise buildings along the coast and rows of residential buildings elsewhere.<\/p>\n The presentation includes a blueprint of Gaza divided into sections, which Kushner says is the U.S.\u2019s plan for \u201ccatastrophic success\u201d in the event of demilitarization of Hamas. The blueprint, labelled as the \u201cMaster Plan,\u201d shows the entirety of the coast \u2014 where Palestinians have long fished for sustenance \u2014 dedicated to \u201ccoastal tourism,\u201d with a sea port and an airport. There are large swaths dedicated to \u201cparks, agriculture, and sports facilities.\u201d<\/p>\n Tellingly, numerous parts of the map located next to residential areas are dedicated to industry and \u201cdata centers.\u201d Ruinous technology like AI,\u00a0reports have said<\/a>, are slated to be a major part of the White House\u2019s plan for Gaza, with other slides in the pitch deck reported by\u00a0The Wall Street Journal<\/em>\u00a0showing a transformation of the Strip into a \u201csmart city\u201d with \u201ctech driven governance.\u201d<\/p>\n Nowhere is there a designation for cultural sites, nor does the map seem to be built around keeping or restoring any parts of Gaza that retain Palestinian heritage or life. The plan appears to be to finish Israel\u2019s razing of the territory, clear the rubble in which thousands of Palestinians\u2019 bodies are thought to be trapped, and replace it with real estate opportunities for investors.<\/p>\n \u201cGaza, as President Trump has been saying, has amazing potential,\u201d said Kushner.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
