According to people familiar with the matter speaking to the Financial Times, representatives for the US-backed group discussed DP World managing supply chains, humanitarian aid and other goods entering the besieged territory, including warehousing, tracking systems and security. There was also discussion that DP World, a multi-national logistics company whose chairman recently resigned over publicised links to paedophile billionaire Jeffrey Epstein, could build a new port in either Gaza or on the nearby Egyptian coast, or develop a free trade zone in the enclave.
