A shocking plan is underway to rebuild the Gaza Strip in Israel's image, without the input or consent of its Palestinian population. The "New Rafah" project, set to be spearheaded by the US and Israeli governments, aims to transform the city into a luxury resort town with high-end amenities and infrastructure.
The plan, which was first reported by the Wall Street Journal, has been met with widespread criticism from human rights groups and Palestinians who fear it will serve only to further entrench Israel's occupation of the territory. The project is expected to cost tens of billions of dollars and will involve the construction of new homes, hotels, and other infrastructure.
The plan is part of a broader effort by Trump administration officials to undermine Palestinian autonomy and advance Israeli interests in the region. The move has been hailed as "a slap in the face" by many Palestinians who feel they have no say in their own future.
Critics argue that the project will only serve to further divide the Gaza Strip, with wealthy Palestinians living in exclusive enclaves while others are left to suffer under poverty and neglect. The plan is also seen as a major blow to Palestinian self-determination and a threat to regional stability.
The US and Israeli governments have dismissed criticism of the plan, saying it will bring economic benefits and improve living standards for all Palestinians. However, many Palestinians see the project as an attempt by their enemies to control their narrative and dictate their fate.
As tensions in the region continue to simmer, critics warn that the "New Rafah" project is a ticking time bomb waiting to unleash chaos and violence on the Gaza Strip.
