Kushner’s ‘New Gaza’ plan erases existing city to build beachfront towers
Kushner unveiled a post-war ‘master plan’ for Gaza at Davos promising glass towers, resorts, data centres and parks - all drawn without consulting Palestinians. The proposal would clear Gaza’s urban fabric, replacing neighbourhoods, historic sites and infrastructure with gated coastal developments. No funding details, no plan for displaced residents, and no path on property rights or statehood were provided. Critics call it ‘Vegas-ification’ and a real estate fantasy that aligns with ongoing displacement concerns, while engineering experts warn high-rises on the rubble-strewn terrain are impractical.
