Analysts say proposal for shiny skyscrapers and coastal attractions resemble the Gulf, deliberately wiping away Gaza’s heritage

Jared Kushner, who serves as a US special envoy, announced plans for a “New Gaza” – complete with shiny skyscrapers, coastal tourist attractions and entire districts dedicated to business and commerce.

Kushner told world leaders in Davos, Switzerland, during the World Economic Forum that the Palestinian enclave would be run under “free market economy principles” that seek to mirror the “same mindset and same approach” as Trump’s America.

Analysts believe that this plan is yet another example of corporations and individuals attempting to profit from war and genocide.

“People have made money from this genocide and it’s a continuation,” Daniel Levy, a British-Israeli analyst and former peace negotiator, told Middle East Eye. Over 71,500 Palestinians have been killed in the war on Gaza, which has been recognised as a genocide by the United Nations, genocide scholars and human rights organisations.
