Kushner Proposes Gaza Revamp

Jared Kushner, U.S. President Donald Trump's son-in-law, unveiled a "New Gaza" vision at Davos to rebuild the territory with skyscrapers, industrial zones, and parks.
The plan relies on a ceasefire requiring Hamas to disarm and Israel to withdraw.
Critics say the proposal prioritizes investment opportunities over Gaza's 2 million residents.
The plan includes 100,000 housing units, but experts warn there is not enough space.

Trump Initiates Gaza Peace

The Rafah border crossing in Gaza reopened, marking the first phase of U.S. President Donald Trump's peace plan.
The crossing is supervised by the European Union and local Palestinian staff, with 50 patients allowed to leave.
The next phase involves a Board of Peace governing Gaza, while Hamas refuses to disarm.
Hamas proposed integrating its police into a technocrat-led government, a plan Israel opposes and warns could restart conflict.

History

Historical Context

The Oslo Accords, signed in 1993 by Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), aimed to establish a framework for peace and Palestinian self-governance following decades of conflict. Despite initial hopes, the five-year interim period ended in 1999 without a permanent agreement, leaving unresolved issues like borders and security, which continue to impact millions today.
