# Washington – A leaked proposal backed by US political operatives and Israeli-linked planners to turn Gaza into a so-called *”Gaza Riviera“* has sparked furious backlash, with critics condemning it as a grotesque, neo-colonial attempt to disguise ethnic cleansing and genocide in gaza as modernization.
The 38-page document, known as the Gaza Reconstitution, Economic Acceleration and Transformation Trust, or GREAT, proposes placing Gaza under US trusteeship for at least a decade. It paints a glossy vision of high-rise resorts, *”smart cities,”* and manufacturing hubs along the Mediterranean coast, but onyl after Palestinians have been displaced from their land.

## Blatant war crime disguised as a redevelopment scheme
Legal experts did not mince words. Several called the plan *”criminal”* and warned it could meet the definition of ethnic cleansing under international law.
