Trump's Controversial Plan: US to Control Gaza and Relocate Its Population
The Trump administration is considering a plan to take control of Gaza and transform it into a high-tech hub and tourism destination, with the entire population of two million people being relocated.

Under the plan, the Gaza Strip would be transformed into a trusteeship administered by the United States for at least 10 years. The goal is to rebuild the war-torn enclave and turn it into what President Donald Trump has described as the 'Riviera of the Middle East.' The plan is detailed in a 38-page prospectus that outlines the initiative.
One of the key aspects of the plan is the temporary relocation of all Gaza residents. This could be achieved through 'voluntary' departures to other countries or by moving residents into restricted, secured zones within the enclave during the reconstruction process. Gaza residents who own land would be given a digital token by a trust in exchange for the right to develop their property. These tokens can be used to start a new life elsewhere or redeemed for an apartment in one of six to eight new 'AI-powered, smart cities' to be built in Gaza.
The body that would administer Gaza under this plan is called the Gaza Reconstitution, Economic Acceleration and Transformation Trust, or GREAT Trust. The GREAT Trust is said to have been developed by some of the same Israelis who created the US- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which has been distributing food inside the enclave amid significant criticism from aid groups and the United Nations.
The GHF has been accused of causing numerous fatalities. On July 22, the UN rights office reported that Israeli forces had killed more than 1,000 Palestinians trying to get food aid in Gaza since the GHF started operations, with nearly three-quarters of these deaths occurring in the vicinity of GHF sites.
The State Department did not immediately respond to a request for comment from the Associated Press. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has praised the proposal, while many European and Arab states have expressed strong opposition. Trump chaired a meeting last week to discuss postwar plans for Gaza, but the White House did not release a read-out or announce any decisions.
The plan has sparked widespread controversy and criticism, with many questioning the feasibility and ethical implications of relocating an entire population and transforming a conflict zone into a tourism and high-tech hub. The Palestinian Authority has also strongly condemned the plan, emphasizing the importance of a sovereign Palestinian state and the right of Gaza residents to remain in their homes.
Despite the criticism, the Trump administration continues to explore various options for the future of Gaza, with the ultimate goal of bringing stability and economic development to the region. However, the success of such a plan remains highly uncertain, given the complex political and humanitarian challenges involved.
