Prospectus proposes forced displacement of entire population and puts territory into US trusteeship

A plan circulating in the White House to develop the “Gaza Riviera” as a string of high-tech megacities has been dismissed as an “insane” attempt to provide cover for the large-scale ethnic cleansing of the Palestinian territory’s population.

On Sunday the Washington Post published a leaked prospectus for the plan, which would involve the forced displacement of Gaza’s entire population of 2 million people and put the territory into a US trusteeship for at least a decade.

Named the Gaza Reconstitution, Economic Acceleration and Transformation Trust – or Great – the proposal was reportedly developed by some of the same Israelis who created and set in motion the US- and Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation with financial planning contributed by Boston Consulting Group.

Most controversially, the 38-page plan suggests what it calls “temporary relocation of all of Gaza’s more than 2 million population” – a proposal that would amount to ethnic cleansing, potentially a genocidal act.

Palestinians would be encouraged into “voluntary” departure to another country or into restricted, secure zones during reconstruction. Those who own land would be offered “a digital token” by the trust in exchange for rights to redevelop their property, to be used to finance a new life elsewhere.

Israel has seized more Syrian territory close to the occupied Golan Heights following the collapse of the Assad regime, citing potential threats Tel Aviv may face from the former rebels.

On Sunday, Syrian rebels conquered the capital, Damascus, concluding a rapid new offensive which saw the Syrian opposition capture numerous towns and major cities from Bashar Al-Assad’s regime, effectively ending almost 14 years of civil war and over five decades of the Assad dynasty’s rule.

Amid mixed messages and reactions from much of the international community, Israel’s Prime Minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, stated in a video that the collapse of the Assad regime and “the tyranny in Damascus” was a “historic day in the Middle East” which “offers great opportunity”, but claimed that it is also “fraught with significant dangers”.

Emphasising that the 1974 disengagement agreement with Syria over Israel’s occupation of the Golan Heights had “collapsed” due to the rebel takeover of the country, Netanyahu announced the Israeli military’s entering of the buffer zone and seizure of “commanding positions nearby”, calling the move a “temporary defensive position until a suitable arrangement is found”.

Warning that Tel Aviv “will not allow any hostile force to establish itself on our border”, Netanyahu claimed that “if we can establish neighbourly relations and peaceful relations with the new forces emerging in Syria, that’s our desire. But if we do not, we will do whatever it takes to defend the State of Israel and the border of Israel.”
