Kushner Unveils Trump Administration’s $25B Plan to Rebuild Gaza

by Emmitt Barry, Worthy News Washington D.C. Bureau Chief

DAVOS, SWITZERLAND (Worthy News) – U.S. envoy Jared Kushner on Thursday unveiled a streamlined master plan to rebuild and economically transform the Gaza Strip, presenting the proposal during the signing of U.S. President Donald Trump’s Board of Peace charter at the World Economic Forum in Davos.

The multi-phase plan envisions turning Gaza into a regional economic hub by 2035, with projected GDP exceeding $10 billion and average household income rising above $13,000 annually. Reconstruction would begin in southern Gaza and advance northward, eventually reaching Gaza City. Coastal areas are slated for tourism development, while the interior would host residential zones and industrial parks for manufacturing, technology, and data centers.

Infrastructure proposals include a new seaport and airport, a Rafah crossing, freight rail and logistics corridors, and a network of major roads. The Board of Peace estimates more than $25 billion will be required to rebuild utilities and public services, alongside investments in job training and entrepreneurship aimed at creating over 500,000 jobs.

Kushner stressed that the plan is conditional on the full demilitarization of Hamas, saying reconstruction cannot proceed without security and governance reforms. Under the proposal, weapons would be decommissioned, and a Palestinian technocratic body would administer Gaza under international oversight, with Israeli withdrawal tied to complete demilitarization.

Trump voiced optimism about Gaza’s potential, calling the project an opportunity to replace long-standing aid dependency with a free-market economy. Kushner said there is “no plan B,” urging governments and investors to support what he described as a rare chance to rebuild Gaza with security, dignity, and long-term economic viability.
