Trump administration reps have just revealed a grandiose $112 billion (AUD $169 billion) plan to rebuild war-torn Gaza into a futuristic international destination dubbed Project Sunrise.
The 10-year development plan, drafted by first son-in-law Jared Kushner, US special envoy Steve Witkoff, and two top White House aides, is currently courting investor countries with a 32-slide PowerPoint presentation detailing the bold plan to renovate burning rubble into beach resorts.
Gaza would see the development of luxury hotels, high speed rail and AI-optimized smart grid features that would revolutionize the small slice of the coveted Mediterranean coastline into a bustling metropolis, the Wall Street Journal reported.
Gazas destruction has been profound, but we believe what lies ahead is not just restoration its a chance to develop a gateway of prosperity in the Middle East with state-of-the-art infrastructure, urban design, and technology, the executive summary slide read, according to the outlet.

(3,950 posts)Somaliland is a breakaway region of Somalia that was just days ago recognized by the state of Israel, the first and only state to do so. Even the US refused to recognize it.
What a coincidence. A few months ago there was a claim that Israel and the US had asked the Somaliland authorities to take in the Palestinians from Gaza.
Lo and behold, Somaliland receives a quid pro quo just as Kushner and Israel (of course it's a joint plan, let's no kid ourselves) are coming out with this vile plan that will ensure Gazans are ethnically cleansed. In their plan, Palestinians are not even an after-thought. From the article:
The genocidal war criminals are not even hiding their crimes anymore.
