Trump’s 'Board of Peace' abandons Gaza ‘recovery plan’: Report Submitted by MEE staff on Fri, 07/17/2026 - 21:36 What was once pitched as a plan to build a glitzy 'Gaza Riviera' has now been abandoned in favour of portable cabins A screengrab of a slide shared by Jared Kushner, son-in-law of Trump and US special envoy, on the future of Gaza presented at Davos, on 22 January 2025 (Screengrab) Off US President Donald Trump’s "Board of Peace" has shrunk its Gaza "recovery plan" from rebuilding territory to a temporary camp of "portable cabins" under Palestinian administration, police and a small international security force. The pilot scheme will be located in the so-called buffer zone along the ceasefire line near Rafah, according to a Guardian investigation published on Thursday. Its blueprint reflects little of what Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, presented in his " free market Gaza " slideshow in January, which assured basic infrastructure within 100 days.
