- On Friday, Senior U.S. officials presented Project Sunrise to Arab countries and prospective donors as a U.S.-led reconstruction offer for the Gaza Strip, the Wall Street Journal reported.
- The 20-year proposal envisions four phases with construction starting in southern Gaza after Hamas disarms to rebuild Gaza's infrastructure, housing and economy following two years of war.
- In a 32-page PowerPoint slides, a team led by Jared Kushner, former senior adviser, and Steve Witkoff, U.S. Middle East envoy, assembled the draft over 45 days but omitted where 2 million displaced Palestinians would live.
- Some U.S. reviewers caution the plan’s realism, Secretary of State Marco Rubio warned investors won’t fund Gaza if another war recurs.
