Report: Trump admin envisions transformation of Gaza into chic high-tech metropolis

The U.S. administration of President Trump vision for the future of Gaza has it transformed into a high-end high-tech hub of luxury and innovation, the Wall Street Journal reported Saturday.

A team of officials understood to be led by Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and special Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff developed a draft proposal to convert the war-ravaged Palestinian territory into a glittering metropolis, propelling Gazans from poverty to prosperity.

U.S. officials with familiarity with the plan—pitched to foreign governments and delegations as a PowerPoint presentation— are cited in the report as saying that, understandable open-endedness of a project in its early phase notwithstanding, the blueprint has many lacunae and leaves crucial questions unanswered.

The plan's critics say it leaves too many major questions unanswered, not least the vexed issue of disarming Hamas

Gazans performing high tech jobs? I don't think so... That would probably end the way Somalians doing high tech jobs would end.

Witcoff, Kushner, et al live in an imaginary world. In their tiny, elite circle it is real; but the rest of the world does not --can not-- live there. Dirt poor people with a seventh century values and belief system are not going to transition or adapt easily into a 21st century post-modern system of beliefs and priorities.

Lacunae- are GAPS

plural. Fancy term for GAPS or holes or unfilled spaces

Many plural gaps in this plan.

Leaves crucial questions unanswered.

Sounds like the dogs ate Witkoff and Kushner's homework. This isn't a plan this is a wish and a hope and a concept. Not a plan.

And using a fancy term like Lacunae glosses over the fact we are talking GAPS, HOLES WIDE ENOUGH TO DRIVE TRUCKS THRU!

Which is another way of saying this is a scam. Not a plan.

So when the Philistines have to be annihilated/relocated due to terrorism, etc., ready-made accommodations for all the Jewish people making Aliya and those that get supernaturally put in Israel

The housing shortage in Israel is extremely serious, and has been for a long time.
