Abstract

The article discusses Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's plan for the region of Gaza, called "Gaza 2035." The plan envisions a postwar Gaza that is purged of residents and transformed into a fossil fuel extraction site, with talk of electric car manufacturing cities and a focus on technology and real estate industries. The plan also proposes connecting Gaza to Saudi Arabia's NEOM project, which has faced challenges and is unlikely to materialize as envisioned. The article highlights how architecture, engineering, and construction firms profit from speculative projects in new-money regimes, despite the ethical ramifications of working in areas affected by violence and ethnic cleansing. The author urges readers not to take part in these projects. [Extracted from the article]
