The US has unveiled its plans for a 'New Gaza' that would see the devastated Palestinian territory rebuilt from scratch.

Slides showed dozens of skyscrapers stretching along the Mediterranean coast and housing estates in the Rafah area, while a map outlining the phased development of new residential, agricultural, and industrial areas for the 2.1 million population.

They were presented during a signing ceremony at the World Economic Forum in Davos for President Donald Trump's new Board of Peace, which is tasked with ending the two-year war between Israel and Hamas and overseeing reconstruction.

We're going to be very successful in Gaza. It's going to be a great thing to watch, Trump declared.

I'm a real estate person at heart and it's all about location. And I said: 'Look at this location on the sea. Look at this beautiful piece of property. What it could be for so many people.'

Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner, who helped broker the ceasefire that took effect in October, said 90,000 tonnes of munitions had been dropped on Gaza and there were 60 million tonnes of rubble to clear.

A map of the US Master Plan showed a zone reserved for coastal tourism, where there would be 180 tower-blocks as well as residential, industrial complex data centres, advanced manufacturing areas, parks, agriculture, and sports facilities.

A new seaport and airport would be built near the Egyptian border, with a trilateral crossing where the Egyptian and Israeli borders converge.

Redevelopment would be divided into four phases, starting in Rafah and then gradually moving north towards Gaza City.

The map also featured a security perimeter along the Egyptian and Israeli borders, where Israeli forces will remain until Gaza is declared secure.

Another slide indicated that New Rafah would host over 100,000 permanent housing units, 200 education centres, and 75 medical facilities. Kushner expressed optimism about completing this construction in two to three years.

Hamas has previously refused to give up its weapons without the creation of an independent Palestinian state, but Trump warned the group must comply with demilitarization terms.

Despite the ambitious reconstruction plans, the situation on the ground remains precarious with reports of ongoing violence, humanitarian crises, and the fragile ceasefire.
