Gaza is not a real estate fantasy

AI Summary

long article 6 min

In January 2026, despite urgent needs for reconstruction in Gaza following widespread devastation, US President Donald Trump and other world leaders unveiled reconstruction plans at the World Economic Forum in Davos. The plans, spearheaded by Jared Kushner, envision Gaza as an investment opportunity for development, including luxury housing and commercial zones. However, critics argue that these plans, presented as the "Board of Peace" initiative, are disconnected from the reality on the ground, where violence continues and Palestinian agency is marginalized. The initiative is criticized for prioritizing Israeli military interests, ignoring the core issues of the conflict, and potentially undermining Palestinian rights, including the right of return for displaced populations. The article suggests the plans are more about political optics than genuine transformation.
