🌐 Tokenizing Gaza? Trump-Linked Postwar Plan Sparks Outrage
-
The Washington Post has reported on a controversial 38-page prospectus circulating in Washington and Tel Aviv that outlines a postwar “blockchain plan” for Gaza.
Dubbed the Gaza Reconstitution, Economic Acceleration and Transformation Trust (GREAT Trust), the proposal envisions:
A US trusteeship over Gaza for at least 10 years.
The “voluntary” relocation of up to 2M Gazans, each receiving a tokenized deed for their land.
These tokens could later be exchanged for cash, an apartment in one of 6–8 “AI-powered smart cities,” or relocation elsewhere.
Departing residents would also receive $5,000 cash, four years of rent subsidies, and one year of food.
🪙 Gaza on the Blockchain
The document pitches an “innovative funding model”:
A blockchain land registry splitting Gaza into fractionalized digital tokens.
Tokens would be sold to investors, tradable on secondary markets, and used to fund reconstruction.
Palestinian landowners who “hand over” their property would be issued these tokens.
Returns could be funneled into a Palestinian Wealth Fund, but the plan notes profitability rises if more Gazans leave.
️ Mega Projects & “Smart Cities”The blueprint doesn’t stop at tokens. It outlines:
6–8 modern AI-powered smart cities in Gaza.
10 mega projects, including:
Ports, highways, railways
An AI datacenter
Dubai-style resort islands
An “Elon Musk Smart Manufacturing Zone”
The entire economy would reportedly run on ID-linked AI digital systems.
️ Backlash & ConcernsThe plan has been slammed by civil rights groups:
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) called it “a mass theft of Palestinian land through a digital token scheme” — labeling it a potential war crime of historic proportions.
Critics warn the scheme reframes displacement and land grabs as “innovation.”
Meanwhile, WaPo says parts of the proposal were developed by a team with ties to Boston Consulting Group and the US-Israel backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation.
Why It MattersCrypto angle: This is the first major case of blockchain/tokenization being proposed not just for finance, but for geopolitical land redistribution.
Political angle: Trump and allies have openly mused about turning Gaza into the “Riviera of the Middle East.”
Moral/legal angle: Tokenizing land tied to forced displacement would test the boundaries of international law and crypto ethics.
Question for the forum: Is this a futuristic funding model for reconstruction — or a dystopian attempt to financialize displacement under the guise of blockchain innovation?
