Kushner Unveils “New Gaza” Master Plan at Trump’s Board of Peace Launch in Davos
Jared Kushner delivered a high-stakes presentation on Gaza’s future at the World Economic Forum in Davos on Thursday, unveiling what U.S. officials tout as a comprehensive plan to rebuild the devastated territory. The session was tied to President Donald Trump’s launch of a new “Board of Peace,” a body intended to spearhead post-conflict reconstruction and broader international peace efforts.
Kushner, a senior White House adviser, outlined a vision branded in media coverage as “New Gaza,” with detailed maps and CGI renderings showing a transformed Gaza Strip featuring skyscrapers, residential districts, industrial zones, and coastal tourism infrastructure. Reuters describes the slides as depicting phased redevelopment beginning in Rafah in the south.
The initiative is framed as a multi-billion-dollar plan, with experts putting the total cost in excess of $25 billion and implementation spanning years. Specifics on funding sources, property rights for displaced residents, and interim housing remain vague in official previews.

A central complication is that the proposal comes amid ongoing violence and humanitarian crisis in Gaza, with critics warning that glossy redevelopment renderings risk overlooking immediate needs and legal concerns.
Kushner said, “There is no plan B — we plan for catastrophic success,” underscoring the administration’s commitment to the phased strategy.
Analysts note the plan’s success hinges on diplomatic buy-in, secure funding, and practical solutions for civilians displaced by years of conflict. Despite global attention in Davos, uncertainty remains about whether this vision can be realized on the ground where basic infrastructure is still being restored.
The next major development is a planned Washington meeting to recruit private-sector investment and clarify financing commitments.
