Jared Kushner Reveals Ambitious Post-War Gaza Masterplan at Davos: 180 Skyscrapers and Global Hubs
Davos, Switzerland — Jared Kushner, son-in-law of U.S. President Donald Trump, has officially unveiled a high-stakes masterplan for the reconstruction of post-war Gaza. Speaking at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Kushner declared, “We have a masterplan... there is no Plan B,” signaling a massive infrastructure push aimed at transforming the territory into a global commercial and tourism hub.
A Vision for Skyscrapers and Modern Infrastructure The presentation, which followed the signing of the Gaza ‘Peace Charter,’ outlined a radical transformation of the Gazan coastline. Key features of the plan include:
180 Skyscrapers: A skyline of nearly 200 high-rise buildings, many of which are designated to be luxury hotels.
Coastal Tourism Zone: A dedicated region along the Mediterranean to attract international travelers.
New Ports and Airports: A new seaport located on the southwestern edge of Gaza, near the Egyptian border, alongside a modern airport positioned slightly inland from the coast.
Building 'New Rafah' and 'New Gaza' Kushner’s roadmap focuses on the development of two major urban centers:
New Rafah: Designed as a residential haven, it is planned to house over 100,000 permanent units, 200 schools, and 75 medical facilities. Kushner expressed optimism that this phase could be completed within two to three years.
New Gaza: Intended to be an industrial and technological epicenter with a goal of achieving 100% employment.
The digital renderings presented at the forum drew comparisons to major Gulf cities like Doha and Dubai, suggesting a modern, high-tech metropolis rising from the current ruins.

Financing the Transformation Addressing the critical question of funding, Kushner stated that governments would provide the initial contributions. A formal announcement regarding the first wave of funding is expected at an upcoming conference in Washington, D.C..
Kushner also urged the private sector to seize what he termed an “extraordinary investment opportunity,” acknowledging the risks but encouraging investors to have faith in the human potential of the region.
Skepticism and Criticism The plan has not been without controversy. While some regional leaders, such as Ali Shaath, head of Gaza’s new technocratic committee, emphasized the importance of turning this vision into reality, others are deeply critical.
Rami Abdu, founder of the Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor, described the plan on social media as a strategy to "erase Palestinian identity," suggesting it exploits the current vulnerability of the population for commercial gain.
