The Main Points in the Leaked Plan for Gaza
The Washington Post has published a document outlining a post-war plan for Gaza that is reportedly circulating in the White House. It's not clear if the plan reflects Trump’s policy. The proposal is called the “Gaza Reconstitution, Economic Acceleration and Transformation Trust," or "GREAT Trust." Over 38 pages, the document lays out how Palestinians living there will be relocated to other countries or designated restricted zones in the strip for at least ten years, while the territory is reconstructed and transformed into a trade, tech and tourism hub. Adham Sahloul, adjunct senior fellow at the Center for a New American Security, joins the conversation.
