1. After Jared and his team get to it, it will look like a resort with high rises

And full of the beautiful people and the poor people who are there now will be scattered to the four winds.

9. I had the same thought. Think Miami, South Beach.

Except it might not be underwater.

15. Not in 10 years. Not in 20.

You're not serious.

[Silent Type]

2. $20 Billion -- properly spent -- could turn Gaza into something infinitely better for the people.

Whether Hamas will let that happen is the question?

[OAITW r.2.0]

3. Demolition of a lot of Gaza has already occured, thanks - large part - to US bombs.

Just need to clear and start building ocean front high-rises to bring in the Saudis.

4. If we don't GOTV in November... Trump Beach Resort Gaza...

Bibi will hold a substantial ownership position.

[David__77]

5. Hopefully it will be in a state of its citizens, inhabited by citizens and not subjects.

[misanthrope]

6. It will be roasting like the rest of the globe**nm

8. Today - 1,400 tons of trash everyday, no sewage system - bad smells & mosquitos

AJ:
“Israel has been bombing garbage trucks and sewage stations in Gaza.

Now, Palestinian children are catching viruses and diseases from waste piling up next to their tents.”

10. All I know is whenever I translate FB or YouTube comments from Arabic, it is full of religious stuff.

The Egyptian army has no dignity, no chivalry, and no Arabism

Did they not know that whoever opposes God and His Messenger will have the fire of Hell to abide therein? That is a great disgrace.

Now God has lightened your burden, and He knows that there is weakness among you. So if there are a hundred of you who are patient, they will overcome two hundred, and if there are a thousand of you, they will defeat two thousand.

Liberation of Al-Aqsa
May the best prayers and peace be upon him

And if you fear betrayal from a people, then reject them all the same. Indeed, God does not like traitors.

My brain does not think like this. I know many are super super dedicated, but here in the west we like to have fun.
Wish these stupid wars would end, but with such persistent adversaries it won't.

One person said, "When the war ends, we will continue".
That's my personal experience too. People are super, laser focused and have been for decades.
It's their entire life 24/7.

And now a huge armed Israeli helicopter is flying over spewing out some type of shells!

The world is crazy!!!

11. I have no clue.

But I hope it is a livable prosperous area for the Palestinians who have lived through this chaos and had their lives dominated by the Hamas.

I have empathy for the Palestine people, NOT HAMAS.

[DemocraticPatriot]

12. I voted for 'an independent Palestinian controlled country', but

I fear annexation by Israel is more likely.

[sarisataka]

13. Many possibilities

If Hamas remains, it may look like a poorer version of Afghanistan or Iran

If Netanyahu or his ilk remain it may look like the rest of Israel

If more moderate factions come to power it may look like Beruit, a damaged but improving city

If different extremists are in power, it will probably look about the same as it does now.

14. Given that religious loons have been playing tug-o'-war with it

For more than 1500 years, I expect it to look that way for a long time to come.

16. "Gaza's waterfront property, it could be very valuable,

if people would focus on building up livelihoods,”

- Noted redevelopment expert Jared Kushner

Just don't mind stepping over the dead bodies, and you'll have a fabulous vacation.

17. Other. It will be a miracle if it even has a functional water and sewage system in 2034.

If Hamas remains a threat, and it probably will to some degree, no contractor is going to come in to build/repair basic infrastructure under constant threat of attack.

[LeftInTX]

18. More of the same was not an option.

There might be a military occupation by Israel.

Doubt if Israel will do a full annex.

Doubt if there will be a Palestinian state.

So, we're back to where we started.

There will be alot of "later, rinse, repeat".
