US EditionUS pitches ‘Project Sunrise’ plan to turn Gaza into high-tech metropolis: WSJ
- On Friday, U.S. officials pitched `Project Sunrise`, a 32-page PowerPoint proposing a Gaza rebuild with over $60 billion from Washington, seeking donor pledges.
- A team led by Jared Kushner, President Donald Trump's senior adviser and son-in-law, and Steve Witkoff, U.S. Middle East envoy, developed the draft rapidly over 45 days with private-sector contractors and Israeli officials amid Gaza Strip's extensive war damage.
- Project Sunrise outlines four stages over 20+ years, beginning in Rafah and Khan Younis, with New Rafah housing over 500,000 residents and coastline monetization plans targeting roughly 70 percent by year 10 for over $55 billion.
- The proposal conditions reconstruction on Hamas demilitarization, but some U.S. officials warn donors are unlikely to invest if conflict risks persist.
- Previous 'riviera' proposals prompted condemnation and questions about displaced residents' fate, as Gaza's population of 2.3 million and two million displaced remain unaddressed; far-right Israeli officials advocate expulsion while Egypt warns against Sinai displacement.
