Tony Blair’s think tank worked on ‘Trump Riviera’ plan for Gaza
GAZA STRIP, JUL 6 – Staff from the Tony Blair Institute took part in talks on a controversial Gaza redevelopment plan that assumes 25% of Palestinians would leave voluntarily, documents reveal.
- The Tony Blair Institute was linked to a secret project by Israeli businessmen and Boston Consulting Group aiming to redevelop Gaza into a “Trump Riviera” as of July 2025.
- This project followed Israel’s war in Gaza since October 2023, which left the territory devastated and prompted plans to transform it economically, though TBI denied endorsing the relocation of Palestinians.
- The 30-page slide deck titled “Great Trust” proposed placing Gaza’s public land into an Israeli-managed trust, creating special economic zones, artificial islands, and a port connecting to the India-Middle East-Europe corridor.
- The proposal anticipated that around a quarter of the Palestinian population might choose to depart willingly, with approximately 500,000 people being offered payments of about $9,000 each to relocate, a move that faced international criticism as a form of ethnic cleansing.
- TBI claimed limited involvement, stating it did not prepare or approve the BCG-backed deck despite some staff participation, and the project’s exposure has significant implications for postwar Gaza and regional policies.
