A sweeping US-backed proposal to rebuild the Gaza Strip into a high-end coastal and technology hub has been presented to potential donor states, outlining a multi-decade vision that would condition reconstruction on the full disarmament of Hamas, according to reporting cited from the Wall Street Journal.

The plan, informally known as Project Sunrise, envisions a four-stage transformation of Gaza over more than 20 years, beginning in the south and gradually moving north.

Rafah and Khan Younis would be rebuilt first, followed by the central refugee camps and ultimately Gaza City.
