The troublemaker Palestinians will never let this happen, but it is a good ruse to move them somewhere else to not let them return.
The United States has circulated a sweeping proposal dubbed “Project Sunrise” that envisions rebuilding the war-ravaged Gaza Strip into a luxury, high-tech coastal destination over the next two decades.
According to The Times of Israel, the plan has been shared with potential donor countries including wealthy Gulf states, Turkey, and Egypt. The proposal carries an estimated cost of $112 billion over its first ten years and was developed by a team led by Jared Kushner alongside Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff.
The plan, detailed in a presentation obtained by U.S. officials and international partners, outlines a four-stage vision that begins with humanitarian relief and debris removal and culminates in long-term commercial and residential development.
One portion of the report explains that the proposal aims “to clear the rubble, rebuild the Strip, and take Gazans out of poverty.”
Initial phases focus on stabilizing Gaza after years of conflict. This includes clearing unexploded ordnance, dismantling Hamas tunnel networks, and addressing widespread destruction.
Temporary housing and medical facilities would be established during this phase, though the plan notably does not specify where Gaza’s population would permanently live while large-scale reconstruction is underway.
Later stages move toward comprehensive redevelopment. The proposal describes transforming Gaza into a modern urban environment, including permanent housing, transportation systems, and advanced public services.
One slide reportedly envisions Gaza as a “smart city,” emphasizing technology-driven governance and infrastructure.
A major feature of the plan involves rebuilding specific regions with ambitious scope. One example highlighted is “New Rafah,” envisioned as a future seat of governance.
The proposal outlines more than 100,000 housing units, over 200 schools, 75 medical facilities, and approximately 180 mosques and cultural centers in that area alone.
By the tenth year of development, the plan projects that roughly 70 percent of Gaza’s coastline could be monetized, with estimated investment returns exceeding $55 billion.
This reflects the plan’s underlying premise that Gaza’s reconstruction could be transformed into a profitable economic venture rather than a perpetual humanitarian dependency.
A central requirement woven throughout the proposal is the full demilitarization of Hamas. This condition is reportedly emphasized repeatedly in the presentation, appearing “in bold and in red,” underscoring that no meaningful rebuilding would proceed without the dismantling of Hamas’s military capabilities.
Despite the ambitious vision, skepticism remains. Some U.S. officials and regional observers question whether Hamas would ever agree to disarm, and whether international donors would commit such massive funding to a region still vulnerable to renewed conflict. Others raise concerns over the lack of detailed solutions for Gaza’s nearly two million displaced residents during the rebuilding process.
Following the release of details about the proposal, the U.S. State Department disputed claims that Washington would directly finance $60 billion of the project.
A spokesperson pushed back on that assertion, stating that “nowhere in the plan does it say the U.S. will pay $60 billion,” while stopping short of denying the existence of the broader initiative.
