THE US and Israel are turning Gaza City into rubble for a real estate development.

The two countries are deliberately wiping out the Palestinians to facilitate a profitable real estate deal that will turn Gaza into a Dubai-like money-making hub: ethnic cleansing and land appropriation for profit.

US President Donald Trump’s Gaza Riviera plans to pay Palestinians $5,000 (around £3,700) per person to leave their land forever.

A 38-page slide deck of the plan, which was first revealed by the Financial Times, was published in full by The Washington Post recently.

That the Post, a once great paper that revealed the Watergate scandal, was moved to report this is significant.

The paper is now owned by Jeff Bezos, one of the richest people in the world, who recently said the paper will write “every day in support and defence of personal liberties and free markets.”

Maybe he’s annoyed that he isn’t being cut a slice of the action — or perhaps his paper is actually praising the dastardly scheme?

The riviera proposal was reportedly led by Michael Eisenberg, an Israeli-American venture capitalist, and Liran Tancman, an Israeli tech entrepreneur and former military intelligence officer.

These two individuals were part of the group that came up with the idea of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) in late 2023, according to the New York Times.

The GHF has, since it entered Gaza earlier this year, been responsible for overseeing aid stations in Gaza where medics have alleged that Israeli troops have engaged in target practice against Palestinians. This target practice, according to medics, has seen Israeli troops engage in targeting different parts of the anatomy of Palestinians on different days.

Despite — or maybe because of this — the new scheme includes the GHF in a new Gaza Reconstitution, Economic Acceleration and Transformation Trust (Great Trust).

A first draft of the proposal, which employees from the Boston Consulting Group worked on, was reportedly completed in April. Trump and his gang met last week to discuss the proposals.

Former British prime minister and war criminal Tony Blair was in DC at the time, but there is no firm confirmation that he was involved in the discussions. But he has allegedly been touting his own grand plans for Palestine.

According to the evil scheme, the GHF will provide a so-called “Hamas-free secure aid” as Gaza is cleared of Palestinians and Hamas is routed.

The GHF will also run temporary accommodation in what the scheme calls “Hamas-free humanitarian transition areas” but what the rest of us might reasonably call concentration camps.

The trust will eventually be run by the US under a US-Israel agreement.

The plan also says that once Gaza is “demilitarised and deradicalised,” the trust will transfer authority to (no doubt) hand-picked Palestinians, who will join the Abraham Accords, the normalisation agreements between Israel and several Arab countries that were made during Trump’s first administration.

US companies would be granted access to $1.3 trillion (just under £1 trillion) worth of rare earth minerals from Western Saudi Arabia.

The scheme makes the case for the building of factories to make use of cheap Palestinian labour in northern Gaza and southern Israel in what is described as the “Elon Musk smart manufacturing zone.”

The factories would be powered by both solar energy and gas from the Gaza Marine, a long-disputed field off the coast of Gaza.

Palestinians have long been prevented by the Israelis from exploring these lucrative gas fields.

The riviera plan does not outline who would own or control the gas. But I think we can reasonably assume that US corporate interests will be in the driving seat.

The cars, once built by the cheap labour, would be delivered to Europe through the Gaza-Arish-Sderot special economic zone envisioned by the plan, with no additional taxes.

Israel’s long-cherished idea of building and controlling a Ben Gurian Canal, to rival the Suez Canal, would also make for a convenient and safe trade route to Europe and North America, free from any potential Arab blockages.

The plan says that Gaza’s “ongoing insurgency” problems can be addressed, and stability and quality of life can be delivered with urban design, citing the work of Georges-Eugene Haussmann, the 19th-century French official who reordered Paris into the beautiful capital it is today.

According to graphics in the proposal, six to eight “smart cities” would be sandwiched between an area labelled the “Trump Touristic Riviera and Islands” (artificial islands similar to the Palm Islands in Dubai), with another area marked for data centres and advanced manufacturing and surrounded by the Mohammed bin Salman Ring Freeway (named for the Saudi Crown Prince).

The cities are each cut through the middle by large thoroughfares, presumably part of the Mohammed Bin Zayed Freeway network (named for the president of the United Arab Emirates). In between are green areas, including agricultural land, parks and, of course, (Trump) golf courses.

This new “nirvana” built on the dead bodies of tens of thousands of Palestinians imagines that “all services and economy” in the smart cities will be conducted through ID-based and AI-powered digital systems.

The plan says that to achieve these goals, more needs to be done to increase “the number of Gazans who volunteer to leave Gaza during the reconstruction.”

For every Palestinian who leaves, the plan calculates that $23,000 (around £17,000) will be saved; for every 1 per cent of the population that relocates, that’s $500 million (£370m) in savings.

To induce people to “relocate,” the plan proposes giving $5,000 (around £3,700) to each person and subsidising their rent in another country for four years, as well as their food for one year.

The stark calculation made is that some $185 billion (£138bn) in revenue can be made by the trust within a decade.

The Palestinians that are left will simply be cheap disposable labour whose role will be to pander to every whim of the uber-rich that will no doubt queue up to frequent the Gaza Riviera.

One tactic often used is to present a proposal so outlandish and unacceptable that what you finally end up doing does not seem quite so bad as the original scheme.

Unfortunately, I don’t think there is any intention whatsoever of not pressing ahead with this sort of scheme.

Trump, the Israelis and, sadly, a number of Arab nations such as the Saudis believe and treat the Palestinians as subhuman and completely disposable.

To even be prepared to enter into discussion on any part of this ethnic cleansing for the enrichment of Trump and his mates is disgusting.

Aside from being a clear example of Trump enriching himself through his presidency, this scheme shows capital ready to profit from the annihilation by the Israelis.

We are witnessing a crime against humanity in front of our very eyes, and the rich and famous are rushing to profit from it. We must expose and stop this disgusting spectacle at all costs.
