"Washington Post Report: Potential U.S. Move Away From Gaza District"
The Gaza Strip, a small coastal region in the Middle East, is at the centre of a controversial plan that aims to transform it into a "Riviera of the Middle East." Known as the GREAT Trust (Gaza Reconstruction, Economic Acceleration, and Transformation Trust), the plan is reportedly being considered by the U.S. government.
The 38-page document, which outlines the details of the plan, has been circulating within the U.S. administration. According to the plan, the Gaza Strip would witness the construction of factories for electric vehicles, data centers, beach resorts, and high-rise residential buildings.
However, the plan has faced criticism for its proposed expulsion of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip, a move that experts argue violates international law. The two million Palestinian residents of the Gaza Strip could potentially be moved to enclosed zones within the coastal strip, or even encouraged to emigrate to another country. Each Palestinian willing to leave the Gaza Strip is said to receive $5,000 (approximately €4,280) and a year's supply of food under the GREAT Trust plan.
The GREAT Trust plan was developed and presented by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a controversial group supported by the United States and linked to the Trump administration. Despite not being attributed directly to a single politician, the plan aligns with ideas previously proposed by former U.S. President Donald Trump.
The prospect of mass resettlements of Palestinians to other countries in the region is seen as a potential destabilizing factor and security risk for the Middle East. The U.S. government's reported consideration of a takeover of the Gaza Strip has sparked international outrage and criticism since the plan was first proposed.
Critics have also expressed doubts about the funding and implementation of the plan. Plans for the Gaza Strip include public and private investments in megaprojects, but the feasibility and sustainability of such projects remain uncertain.
The information regarding the GREAT Trust plan for the Gaza Strip was first reported by the U.S. newspaper "Washington Post." As the plan continues to be discussed within the U.S. government, the future of the Gaza Strip and its people remains uncertain.
