Skyscrapers on Rubble

The New Gaza Master Plan and the Business of Destruction

While bodies were still being pulled from the rubble in Gaza, a different conversation was already happening in boardrooms and conference halls far from the smoke.

At Davos, amid champagne panels and investor roundtables, a vision was unveiled for what is being called a “New Gaza.” Not relief. Not recovery. A master planned redevelopment featuring as many as 180 skyscrapers, luxury coastal districts, commercial corridors, ports, and transport hubs. Gaza was not discussed as a wounded people in need of mercy. It was framed as a blank slate.

This plan did not come from humanitarian workers or local leaders. It came from Jared Kushner, a real estate investor and former White House adviser, speaking comfortably to the world’s financial class. The pitch was simple. Destruction creates opportunity. Rebuilding creates profit.

The proposal was amplified and normalized through elite channels, including the World Economic Forum, where war zones are routinely reframed as development opportunities and crises are treated as catalysts for restructuring societies from the top down. This is not new, it is a pattern.

What should trouble every honest observer is the timing.

Gaza had barely stopped burning before its future was being auctioned to investors. Entire neighborhoods reduced to dust were immediately “reimagined” as high-rise districts. Families still searching for the remains of loved ones were never part of the presentation. There was no serious discussion of consent. No referendum. No voice for the people whose land this is.

“Woe to him that buildeth a town with blood, and stablisheth a city by iniquity.”
Habakkuk 2:12 KJV

Instead, Gaza was treated like distressed property.

A newly announced international body called the “Board of Peace” was introduced alongside this vision. It claims authority over reconstruction and stabilization. It was launched with heavy political branding and almost no clarity on accountability. Established institutions were sidelined, local representation was minimal, power was centralized, and capital was invited in.

This is how modern conquest works.

Not with flags and declarations, but with master plans, zoning maps, and investment decks.

When political families, financial elites, and development interests circle a war zone this quickly, the question must be asked plainly. Who benefits from the destruction? Who stands to profit from the rebuild? And who never gets a seat at the table….

Gaza is not being rebuilt for its people; it is being redesigned for markets.

This is not about peace. It’s about control of land, infrastructure, and future revenue streams. Ports. Energy corridors. Transit hubs. Tourism. Real estate. Once the land is reshaped and ownership structures are rewritten, the original inhabitants become an inconvenience, not stakeholders.

History shows this playbook clearly. War clears the land, reconstruction locks in new power, and debt and dependency follow. The skyline changes, but the people do not benefit.

Call it redevelopment. Call it modernization. Call it peace.

But do not insult the intelligence of the public by pretending this is compassion.

When skyscrapers are planned before graves are filled, the motive is not healing, it’s profit.

And when elites speak casually about rebuilding while ignoring accountability for how the destruction happened, it tells you everything you need to know.

This was never about helping Gaza.

It was about who would own what comes after.
