Jared Kushner has unveiled an ambitious vision for rebuilding Gaza, presenting plans for modern cities, a revitalized coastline, and advanced infrastructure at an economic forum in Switzerland. He claims that, with security, reconstruction could happen quickly, but this optimism clashes with United Nations estimates that clearing rubble alone will take years. The plan hinges on the demilitarization of armed groups, including Hamas, and cooperation from various factions, yet deep divisions and ongoing violence cast doubt on the feasibility of rapid progress.
Kushner's proposal includes new residential areas, parks, and industrial zones, with initial efforts focused on Rafah, a city devastated by war. However, key details remain unclear, such as how demining will be managed and where displaced residents will live during reconstruction. Critics argue the plan is unrealistic, pointing to political obstacles, security concerns, and resistance from both Israeli and Palestinian authorities. The future of Gaza's governance and the role of the Palestinian Authority also remain contentious issues.
