U.S. Unveils ‘Project Sunrise’ Plan to Transform Gaza Into a High-Tech Metropolis — WSJ

U.S. Unveils ‘Project Sunrise’ Plan to Transform Gaza Into a High-Tech Metropolis — WSJ

The Trump administration is pitching a Gaza reconstruction blueprint dubbed “Project Sunrise” that envisions transforming the enclave into a futuristic coastal city, according to The Wall Street Journal.

The draft plan, developed by a team led by President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner and Middle East envoy Steve Witkoff, projects roughly $112.1 billion in costs over 10 years and says the U.S. could “anchor” about 20% of financing, the WSJ report said.

We reached out to the White House for comment.

Why It Matters

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has argued that donors will be reluctant to fund rebuilding without a durable security and governance structure in place in Gaza, in remarks carried by Reuters.

The administration has separately promoted Gaza’s “transformation into a beacon of prosperity” as part of its broader postwar vision, according to a White House statement.

What To Know

The plan is described as a “sensitive but unclassified” slide deck shown to prospective donors, and it does not specify which governments or companies would fund rebuilding or where roughly 2 million displaced Palestinians would live during reconstruction, according to the WSJ report.

The proposal reportedly flags that reconstruction depends on Hamas demilitarizing and decommissioning weapons and tunnels; Rubio has said donors want to know “who’s in charge” and whether there will be “long term stability,” according to Reuters.

The concept resembles other postwar visions for Gaza, including a proposal for a U.S.-administered trusteeship discussed in prior reporting by The Washington Post.

What People Are Saying

Rubio said potential donors want assurances that projects will not be destroyed in renewed fighting: “Who’s going to pledge billions of dollars to build things that are going to get blown up again because a war starts?” according to Reuters.

A White House spokesperson said Trump continues to monitor Gaza and the peace plan, according to the WSJ report.

What Happens Next

Rubio said the U.S. is aiming to establish a new governance structure for Gaza “very soon,” followed by a stabilization force, according to Reuters.

The WSJ report said the “Project Sunrise” pitch has been shown to prospective donors including Gulf states, Turkey and Egypt, but key details on funding and interim housing remain unspecified.
