Gaza For Sale, The UAE’s Plan to Displace Palestinians and Rebrand the Strip
Background
As Gaza endures the deadliest assault in modern history, new information reveals that the United Arab Emirates is pushing a plan that envisions the U.S. assuming sovereignty over the Gaza Strip — transforming it into a depoliticized, investor-driven territory with no armed resistance and no Palestinian leadership.
UAE’s Vision: Controlled Reconstruction
Sources close to regional diplomacy say the UAE has proposed a framework that would:
- Install a U.S.-backed transitional authority in Gaza
- Enforce “demilitarization” and “depoliticization”
- Use UAE and Saudi funding to reconstruct infrastructure
- Turn Gaza’s coastline into a Gulf-style investment hub
This effort, framed as a “post-war peace plan,” offers Palestinians no political agency, no sovereignty, and no recognition of their historic rights.
U.S. Role: Oversight and Security
The Biden administration, while publicly calling for a humanitarian pause, has reportedly entertained “ideas” from Gulf allies about how to stabilize Gaza “after Hamas.” The UAE has been among the most aggressive voices pushing a model of economic pacification backed by U.S. military and diplomatic support.
Real Estate Colonialism
What the UAE is proposing is not new peace architecture — it is settler logic in a globalized form. The idea of converting Gaza’s ruins into a neutral tourism and tech zone serves the interests of foreign investors, not the indigenous population.
The message is clear: Palestinians must disappear to make way for business.
Resistance and Rejection
Human rights groups and Palestinian organizations have fiercely rejected such proposals, warning that attempts to impose post-war governance structures without consent from Palestinians will only deepen instability and set the stage for long-term occupation.
Any attempt to erase Palestinian identity — through violence or vision boards — will fail.
