Overview
- The 32-slide draft outlines a smart-city rebuild with luxury resorts, high-speed rail and AI-optimized infrastructure along Gaza’s coast.
- Developed in roughly 45 days by Jared Kushner and Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff, the plan maps a four-phase timeline over about a decade.
- The United States proposes to anchor up to about $60 billion in grants and loan guarantees while soliciting additional funding from Gulf states, Egypt and Turkey, and Witkoff has held talks in Miami with delegations from Egypt, Turkey and Qatar.
- The presentation identifies no committed investors and offers no clear plan for housing roughly two million Palestinians during the construction period.
- Implementation is explicitly conditioned on Hamas disarming, and analysts as well as some U.S. officials question the proposal’s viability and local legitimacy.
