Overview

  • The Washington Post describes a 38-page plan that envisions at least a 10-year U.S. trusteeship over Gaza, paying Palestinians $5,000 to relocate and offering four years of rent and a year of food while redeveloping the strip into tech hubs and resorts.
  • Landowners would receive digital tokens in exchange for redevelopment rights, redeemable for housing in six to eight planned AI-powered smart cities or to finance resettlement, according to the documents.
  • The proposal was developed by figures linked to the U.S.- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, with financial modeling by a team then at Boston Consulting Group; BCG later distanced itself and dismissed two senior partners.
  • Trump met last week with Secretary of State Marco Rubio, envoy Steve Witkoff, former UK prime minister Tony Blair and Jared Kushner to discuss postwar options, but the White House issued no readout and announced no decisions.
  • Hamas publicly rejected the reported plan, Netanyahu has praised Trump’s idea, and Israeli media report Netanyahu told ministers Trump urged him to “go in with full force,” as Israeli operations intensify around Gaza City with famine warnings and more than 63,000 reported Palestinian deaths.
