Newly released plans reveal Donald Trump wasn’t joking about Costa Del Gaza
The first pictures of Donald Trump’s vision for Gaza have been unveiled.
The ‘Master plan’ shows futuristic skyscrapers lining the coast and new cities called ‘New Rafah’ and ‘New Gaza’.
The images were unveiled by the newly founded Board of Peace at the World Economic Forum in Davos.
Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law’ told the World Economic Forum that these new metropolitan areas could be built within three years.
Kushner said: ‘In the Middle East, they build cities like this in three years. Stuff like this is very doable if we make it happen.’
‘Rafah will show a lot of workforce housing. We think this can be done in two to three years. We have already started removing the rubble and doing some of the demolitoin.
‘New Gaza can be a hope, a destination, have a lot of industry and really be a place where people can thrive and have great employment.
‘Once this starts going, we think there should be 100% full employment and opportunity for everybody there.’
He added: ‘Our ambition is to go for something better than most people think is possible.
‘A lot of what President Trump is doing in America, we want to bring the same approach to a place like Gaza, to give these people the ability to thrive and have a good life.’
The presentation of the ‘Master Plan’ for Gaza came after some world leaders joined Trump on the stage for a signing ceremony for his Board of Peace.
The founding members included his political allies Argentinian President Javier Milei and Hungarian Prime Minister Victor Orban.
It was originally envisioned as a small group that would oversee the ceasefire in Gaza and it was given a mandate by the United Nations Security Council to do this.
Trump has since said the Board of Peace will tackle other global conflicts and encourage peace around the world.
As Chairman, Trump will reportedly have extensive executive powers to veto decisions and remove members, subject to some constraints.
Tony Blair has been picked as a member of the founding executive board, alongside Secretary of State Marco Rubio, special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner.
