Gaza’s daily nightmare vs US talk of AI-driven smart cities

AI Summary
In a February 1, 2026, report, Drop Site News Middle East Editor Sharif Abdel Kouddous discusses the stark contrast between the daily suffering of Gazans due to Israeli bombings and the United States' plans for AI-driven "smart cities" in the region. Abdel Kouddous argues that U.S. plans for Gaza are a "theme park of dispossession" that will further marginalize Palestinians. He describes the proposed measures as an Orwellian system of biometrics and surveillance designed to displace the two million Palestinians living in Gaza. Kouddous also warns that Israel is establishing permanent military bases in Gaza, hindering any potential ceasefire agreements. The report questions the feasibility of U.S. promises of "peace, stability, and opportunity" in light of the current conditions and proposed policies.
