Overview

  • The Great Trust plan drafted by Israeli businessmen with Boston Consulting Group support envisioned blockchain trade, special economic zones and artificial islands to rebuild Gaza
  • Internal project documents assumed at least 25 percent of Palestinians would leave Gaza voluntarily with most never returning, a provision widely condemned as ethnic cleansing
  • Tony Blair Institute initially denied any involvement but now acknowledges staff attended a messaging group and discussions without drafting or endorsing the slide deck
  • Boston Consulting Group has distanced itself from the redevelopment proposal after its consultants’ participation sparked international rebuke
  • The 30-page presentation proposed placing Gaza’s public land under an Israeli-managed trust until the territory is “demilitarized and deradicalized” before full reconstruction
