A leaked proposal reportedly tied to Donald Trump’s camp has ignited global criticism for suggesting the use of cryptocurrency and tokenized land sales to reshape Gaza after the war.
According to The Washington Post, a 38-page document outlines the “Gaza Reconstitution, Economic Acceleration and Transformation (GREAT) Trust.” The plan assumes Gaza would be placed under a U.S.-led trusteeship for at least a decade, during which Palestinian residents would be relocated and rehoused through a blockchain-based system.

A leaked 38-page proposal called the GREAT Trust reportedly tied to Trump-era circles envisions a US trusteeship over Gaza for at least a decade following the war.
The plan would displace Gaza’s 2 million residents…
Tokenized Land and “Voluntary” Relocation
The proposal suggests Gazans would receive digital tokens representing their land ownership. These tokens could then be exchanged for apartments in a proposed “smart city” or for relocation elsewhere. Residents would also be provided with housing and food subsidies for up to four years.
Funding would come from selling Gaza’s tokenized land to investors, with the document pitching 10 major projects. Among them: an “Elon Musk Smart Manufacturing Zone” and a luxury coastal development called the “Gaza Trump Riviera & Islands.”
Criticism and Denials
The idea has drawn widespread backlash from civil rights groups. Hamas official Basem Naim condemned the plan outright, declaring: “Gaza is not for sale.”
The regime has a plan to enact a pogrom in Gaza and turn it into the “Riviera of the Middle East” with American management.

Palestinians will be offered a “digital token” to be “eventually redeemed” in “AI-powered, smart cities.”

The Washington Post report linked the plan’s architects to the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, an organization backed by the U.S. and Israel.
It also noted that consultants from Boston Consulting Group (BCG) were named in financial planning. However, BCG strongly denied involvement, saying in a July press release that the work was initiated secretly by two former partners and “was not a BCG project.”
Blair, Kushner, and High-Level Talks
The Trump-linked proposal isn’t the only effort under discussion. Reports from July indicated that former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair’s think tank was pursuing a similar concept, echoing Trump’s vision of turning Gaza into a resort-like hub.
Last week, Blair reportedly joined Trump and his son-in-law Jared Kushner for a private White House meeting on Gaza’s post-war future. Details of the meeting remain undisclosed.
Why It Matters
The GREAT Trust proposal underscores how crypto and tokenization are increasingly entering global political and reconstruction debates—but it also highlights the ethical and human challenges of applying blockchain to geopolitics.
With more than two million Palestinians in Gaza facing displacement under the suggested framework, critics argue the plan risks commodifying land and identity in exchange for speculative investment projects.
For now, the proposal remains only on paper. But as negotiations over Gaza’s future continue, the intersection of politics, finance, and emerging technology is drawing intense global scrutiny.
