“… According to a map included in Kushner’s slideshow, Gaza’s entire Mediterranean shoreline would be reserved for “coastal tourism,” with 180 high-rise towers lining the beach.

Across other parts of the enclave, parks and sports facilities would break up industrial complexes, data centers and advanced manufacturing facilities.

Residential areas appear to take up only about half of the map, while some areas marked for agriculture are located in places with poor, sandy soil unsuitable for crops.Ask The Post AIDive deeper

The residential zones would be restricted to preplanned cities laid out with multi-floor apartment buildings, according to an AI-generated picture of a zone called “New Rafah.”

The areas for housing are also separated from touching any portion of Gaza’s borders by the resort strip in the west, the industrial areas in the east, a new airport and logistics zone along the southern border with Egypt, and an “industrial city” along the Israeli border in the north….”

“… The intent signaled Thursday to rebuild Gaza in four phases, beginning with Rafah in southern Gaza — most of which currently lies behind Israeli military lines — is likely to fuel those fears.

“Workforce housing” will be built there in two to three years, Kushner said, and “we’ve already started removing the rubble and doing some of the demolition.” (He appeared to be referring to the extensive demolition campaigns the Israeli military has carried out in recent months.)

Whether there is the political will and the necessary funds to move forward with rebuilding Gaza remains far from certain.…”
 


Someone needs to send up the Bat Signal for the Board of Peace to swoop in and correct this.

The Guardian:
Israeli forces killed four Palestinians, including two children, during a raid in the occupied West Bank on Sunday, according to Palestinian health authorities.

Israeli’s military said it was looking into the reports, the Reuters news agency reported.

A mother and father – ages 35 and 37 – were shot dead in the West Bank village of Tammun, along with two of their children – aged 5 and 7 – Palestinian health authorities said, adding that two other children sustained injuries.

Rights groups and medics say that Israeli settlers in the West Bank are taking advantage of restrictions on movement imposed during the war on Iran to attack Palestinians, with military roadblocks preventing ambulances reaching victims quickly.
 

After the gunfire stopped, Israeli border police dragged him out of the wreckage, taunted him about the murders of his family and attacked him. One of the Israelis said “we killed dogs”, he told Reuters.

The family had been in the nearby city of Nablus to buy clothes for the upcoming Eid festival, which marks the end of the Muslim holy month of Ramadan. Families often stay up late in a month when adults fast during daylight hours.

“What did this family do? They went to buy Eid necessities, and to put a smile on those children’s faces,” said Mansour Abu Islam, a neighbour and cousin of Ali. “This is clear evidence that Palestinian lives have no value.”

The gunmen were an undercover unit who were not in uniform and were driving a car with Palestinian license plates, Abu Islam said.

Israeli forces opened fire without warning, Khaled said in an interview from hospital. After the shooting an Israeli asked him who had been in the car. “I said: ‘My father, my mother, my three brothers, and me’. He said: ‘You are lying,’ and then they started beating and kicking me.”

All four victims were were shot in the head and face, and Ali, who was driving, was also shot in the chest and left hand, the Palestinian ministry of health said.

Israeli forces initially prevented ambulances reaching the scene, the Palestinian Red Crescent said in a statement. The military later towed the family car away, according to witness accounts and video shared on social media.

Unconscionable.

Fuck these monsters.
 



In Gaza, local and international media outlets report Israeli forces tortured a Palestinian toddler to coerce a confession from his father. According to reports from Palestine TV, Al Jazeera and others, the child’s father, Osama Abu Nassar, was detained near the al-Maghazi refugee camp on Saturday after he came under fire from Israeli soldiers. He was forced to approach an Israeli checkpoint, where he was separated from his 18-month-old son, stripped naked and forced to watch as soldiers used a cigarette to burn one of the toddler’s legs while using a nail to puncture the other. This comes as a new report published by a U.N. expert on Palestine warns Israel is systematically torturing Palestinians on a scale that “suggests collective vengeance and destructive intent.”
