US special envoy Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner have presented a $112 billion reconstruction plan to Gulf officials to build a “high-tech metropolis” atop the remains of Gaza, the Wall Street Journal reported on Friday. The 32-page PowerPoint presentation labeled "sensitive" and titled "Project Sunrise" was developed over 45 days and reportedly presented to officials from Qatar, UAE, Egypt, and Turkiye.

You can't make this shit up

However, the plan does not specify where two million Palestinians would be sheltered during the reconstruction period. Israel's blockade of shelter materials has left Palestinians sheltering in bombed-out buildings and tattered tents.

Bibi will take care of them.

ROFL, Beirut, Lebanon was supposed to be the Paris of the Middle East. Look how that turned out.

And Trump (via his son-in-law Jared Kushner, and probably others) will be making a mint off this.

Truly vile.

I also wonder where they'd be after the reconstruction period. But I suppose it's impolite to ask.

It seems once again, outside powers are going to determine the fate of the Palestinians.

Seems like they should have invited some non-Hamas Palestinian leaders to the table for this at least. Of course, we probably know why that didn't happen.
