Gaza 2035
By Karen Schumacher
President Trump made headlines when he abruptly announced the United States would “take over the Gaza strip” and “own it.” After cleaning up the devastation, he proposed an “economic development” that would create the “Riviera of the Middle East.” During the announcement Israel Prime Minister Bebe Netanyahu gave President Trump credit for “having a different idea.”
Hold the phone there, Bebe. That may not be the full story.
This concept actually began with the Trump sanctioned Abraham Accords back in 2020. Besides the kumbaya tone reflective of the United Nations (UN) goal of peace and justice for all, also contained within that agreement was the statement, “We support science, art, medicine, and commerce to inspire humankind.” Israel and Bahrain clarified this further with its declaration to “seek agreements in the coming weeks regarding investment, tourism, direct flights, security, telecommunications, technology, energy, healthcare, culture, the environment, and other areas of mutual benefit.”
Even better was the U.S., Israel, and Morocco declaration to “Promote a dynamic and innovative economic bilateral cooperation” and “Pursue cooperation on trade; finance and investment,” among many other financial developments such as tourism. It should be no shock that Morocco is invested in Agenda 2030.
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) agreement with Israel included the same areas, Finance and Investment, Innovation, Trade and Economic Relations, and Tourism, along with all the other issues mentioned in previous declarations. Interestingly, Sudan didn’t seem as interested in this economic takeover, only supporting commerce, and instead just wanting peace.
So, this economic transformation in the Middle East appears to have first started in 2020 with agreements between the countries, garnering “$1 billion in trade” by 2022 after its signing. However, Netanyahu hinted at an economic development scheme by Trump during an interview in 2018 at the World Economic Forum (WEF) starting at the 19:45 mark. Perhaps that is the beginning point of why Netanyahu gave President Trump the credit. Nevertheless, one has to keep in mind that Netanyahu is a contributor to WEF, a supporter of Agenda 2030, and has been involved in the development and advancement of the Great Reset. This, right along the side of WEF partner United Arab Emirates.
Advancing to 2024, Netanyahu released “The Day After Hamas” in February, stipulating his “post-war plans to maintain military control over Gaza and install local officials to govern the region.” No support for Palestinian sovereignty or unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state would be given, and it rejected “international dictates” regarding a permanent settlement with the Palestinians.” Nor would he “allow the Palestinian Authority (PA) to return to govern Gaza” which supports his statements at WEF, that Palestine could govern itself but Israel would have military authority over the region. The document also called for “deradicalization” of religious, educational and welfare institutions.”
This is interesting because in 2023, the UAE made clear that they will not play any role in the rehabilitation of Gaza unless it is part of a framework aimed at an eventual “two-state solution.”
Although not yet confirmed by the Prime Minister’s office, in May, 2024, its Gaza 2035 plan details were published in The Architect’s Newspaper, The Jerusalem Post, Dezeen and other publications. According to Probe International, this Gaza 2035 concept was released by Bebe Netanyahu under U.S. pressure to develop a post war rebuilding and governance plan for Gaza, even though plans for developing the area into an economic region had been in the works for years. Probe International even recognized this plan “could catapult Gaza into a manufacturing center and international trading hub” and how “corporate interests…swoop in after wars and natural disasters.” Fits nicely into the Accords and WEF objectives.
Viewed primarily as an economic plan, Gaza 2035 involves three steps. During the first year in step one, Hamas-free zones would be maintained by Israel to enable humanitarian aid. Step two would extend over 5-10 years where a Marshall Plan would be implemented by the Arab coalition to oversee reconstruction. The Arab coalition is undefined but could it be the one for SDGs? Step three is the perception that by this time Gazans would be deradicalized and accept Israel as other Arab countries had through the Abraham Accords. The Arab coalition would hand power over to a local Gazan government, eventually transitioning to a self-government ruling both Gaza and the West Bank.
Elements of this vision include an artificial island for a deep water port using the 30 million tons of rubble from bombed-out buildings; a desalination plant; a Palestinian film industry; a soccer stadium; and in pure sustainable fashion, it would be fueled by acres of solar plants in the Sinai desert along with offshore natural gas. President Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, is eyeballing the potential development value in the Gaza waterfront property.
Eventually, the plan also includes building an Egyptian–Israeli–Gaza or Gaza-Arish-Sderot Free Trade Zone, administered by an Israel, Egypt, and a Gaza Rehabilitation Authority (GRA)—a proposed Palestinian-run agency, with no plans for a Palestinian statehood.
Part of this zone would include a “north-south rail service between Gaza and NEOM – the speculative $500 billion Saudi city,” creating an opportunity for tech companies, electric vehicle manufacturing, and factories for connectivity to another economic zone. This Agenda 2030 city vision fits nicely into Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 plans. Hmmm, WEF partner NEOM is involved. What this really describes is a regional economic plan for continued development of global governance.
If this scheme is successful, plans to do the same in Yemen, Syria, and Lebanon are mentioned, while others have a different perspective on the vision.
What is ironic is Netanyahu stating it is “‘worth listening carefully’ to Trump’s proposal for Gaza.” This Gaza “proposal” was already in the works for several years and appears it has really been a negotiation for investments between these two men and other countries. All of this is borne out during a WEF 2022 panel discussion, The Future of the Abraham Accords, in which it centered around nothing but the improved trade and economics as a result of those Accords.
All of this, after Trump adamantly declared the US would not dictate how others will live or govern themselves back in 2017, reiterating “we are not nation building again.” In this video, Trump even states Gaza is a “real estate investment” with the U.S. being an “investor in that part of the world,” including resettlement of Palestinians to other areas. Let that one sink in.
In general, there is overall opposition to Gaza 2035 including rejection from the Palestinian Athority and towards the Trump plan to “own Gaza” by those who have been driven from their home but have since returned. However, depending on how the press manipulates the information, some Gazans welcome the proposal that they are moved out of Gaza which has been proposed by Trump, while other Arab states reject the idea. Secretary of State Marco Rubio later clarified the President’s statement to the displacement only being “temporary.”
One might speculate that talks between the President and Vladimir Putin will center around the idea of a similar trade zone concept, especially given both Ukraine and Russia’s involvement with WEF.
This is all part of the now traditional agenda to cause destruction or use natural disasters for the sole purpose of rebuilding sustainably according to Agenda 2030 and 4th Industrial Revolution (4th IR) dictates. What a perfect setup, forever corporate profits over disasters. What some might call just a fluke, WEF connected individuals always seem to be behind the destructive event, then rising to the pedestal as heroes who solve the crisis with solutions that save the day. Whether a city or country, WEF has profit making plans to rebuild the world in its vision.
Putting aside one’s own bias, belief, or prejudices regarding the Israel and Palestinian problems, more focus should be targeted on the WEF with its globalist cronies and corporate syndicate. It is through this structure that lives are being manipulated for an end game of control. Israel, Gaza, Ukraine, and even Russia are just a few chess pieces currently being moved around for checkmate against humanity.
