Images Show 'New Gaza' Planned Under Trump Peace Board

Source: Newsweek

Published Jan 23, 2026 at 04:48 AM EST updated Jan 23, 2026 at 08:38 AM EST


President Donald Trump’s Middle East advisor, his son-in-law Jared Kushner, unveiled images showing plans for the future of Gaza on Thursday.

Kushner presented a map of the “master plan” for war-torn Gaza and graphics showing luxury high-rise buildings along the waterfront to attract tourists during a presentation he gave at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland.

In his speech, Kushner said it would be possible to quickly rebuild Gaza’s cities, which lie in ruins after more than two years of war between Israel and Hamas.

“In the Middle East, they build cities like this … two, three million people, they build this in three years,” he said. “And so stuff like this is very doable, if we make it happen.

I believe that is the correct terminology for this crime against humanity which btw was planned and enabled since October 7th. Pretty obvious it's why Gaza had to be burned to the ground.

I'm not sure Somaliland is exactly in the area. That's where these unfortunate people are destined to be caged up. From one cage to another...

Well, maybe wealthy Palestinians, but certainly not for the poor.

This is the planned playground for the world's wealthy. They're so bored with Dubai, Gstaad, Vale, Monaco, Palm Beach etc. They always need new and exciting places that have different peasants they can look down on.

murders and destroys everything, Kushner & Company rebuilds the Strip into a playground for the rich atop the bodies of the previous inhabitants.
Sounds like the plan.

We knew this was the plan all along. And Bibi will get a big cut for clearing out the peasants. I have no doubt the billions trump wants from other countries to join his, "Peace Commission," or whatever he's calling it, will go to build trump hotels and golf courses there.

Thousands of innocent people died for this.

And the extermination of Palestinians. Notice it only shows 100,000 homes.

There were over 2 million Palestinians living in Gaza.

This is an extermination plan, sprayed with perfume and tied up in a pretty bow.

The 100,000 homes are not for Palestinians, who will be crammed into tents and mobile homes in designated "camps". The 180 Residential Towers are mostly not for "tourists" either. Unless "tourist" is now the new euphemism for Israeli settler.

That's what this is really about imo. I've been right before....sadly.

Trump was talking about this before he was reelected. Of course, nobody took him seriously back then.
Now we see this has been the plan for a long time.
Of course they will have to allow some Palestinians to stay on to fill the low end jobs needed to maintain all those luxurious pleasure palaces.
But it's not going to be their land anymore.

They are showing a hundred thousand permanent homes. So best case for Palestinians is less than that. When the latest version of this conflict started there were over 2 million Palestinians living in Gaza.
Notice there isn't a single person of Palestinian origin in any way associated with this project.
It's genocide.

They are erasing them out of existence.

Justice matters.

180 shiny towers for pampered sociopaths.

18,000 murdered, burned alive, incinerated children.

But then, like everyone has said already, this plan is for the tourists and two million Gazans can go pound sand. Literally.
