The United States has revealed an ambitious plan to rebuild Gaza, envisioning a modern coastal city with skyscrapers, new housing estates, and advanced infrastructure. The proposal, presented at the World Economic Forum in Davos, outlines phased redevelopment starting in Rafah and expanding north, including new residential, industrial, and tourism zones, as well as a seaport and airport near the Egyptian border. The plan is tied to a ceasefire agreement and the demilitarisation of Gaza, with the United States insisting that Hamas must disarm for reconstruction to proceed. Despite the vision for 'New Gaza', humanitarian conditions remain dire, with ongoing violence and widespread displacement, while political leaders debate the path forward and the role of the Palestinian Authority in the territory's future.
