Gaza Strip Reconstruction Plan
The United States and Israel rejected a Gaza Strip reconstruction plan that aims to rebuild without displacing Palestinians. The plan includes modern housing developments, tourist destinations, a commercial harbor, and an airport, to be funded by international sources. Trump's proposal to transform Gaza into the "Riviera of the Middle East" was dismissed by the White House. The proposal was welcomed by some Palestinian and Arab leaders but faced criticism from Israeli officials.
