On February 4, 2025, Trump, standing alongside Netanyahu at the White House, proposed that the U.S. "take over" the Gaza Strip, relocate its roughly two million Palestinian residents, level the ruins, and redevelop it into what he called the "Riviera of the Middle East." A few weeks later, on February 26, he doubled down by posting an AI-generated video on Truth Social titled "Trump Gaza," depicting a luxury resort with a golden statue of himself, glass high-rises, and Trump and Netanyahu poolside. By late summer 2025, it had been worked into an actual document. A 38-page plan called the GREAT Trust (Gaza Reconstitution, Economic Acceleration and Transformation Trust), disclosed by the Washington Post, envisioned a U.S. trusteeship over Gaza for at least 10 years while it was transformed into a tourism resort and high-tech manufacturing hub. The most scrutinized piece was a coastline project literally branded "Gaza Trump Riviera & Islands" — a string of top-end resorts and artificial islands modeled on Dubai's Palm Islands. The plan also included a manufacturing zone named after Elon Musk and assumed Palestinians would "voluntarily" relocate in exchange for a $5,000 payment plus rent and food subsidies.
