A plan for a “Gaza Riviera” and the ethnic cleansing of 2 million Palestinians just leaked in the Washington Post. The plan circulating the White House would see the U.S. take control of Gaza for over a decade, expel Palestinians from their homes, and purportedly develop Gaza into an AI-fueled tech fantasy city.1
Every single day, Israel’s humanitarian blockade and airstrikes are killing tens of Palestinians, injuring many others, and leaving tens of thousands of children starving or malnourished.2 And according to the horrific “Gaza Riviera” plan, Israel’s genocide in Gaza could end in the full ethnic cleansing of Palestinians and the re-development of Gaza for corporate profit.
Israel's ongoing atrocities, and this new ethnic cleansing plan, are the end result of years of unconditional U.S. funding and weapons support. The Block the Bombs Act would halt the billions of dollars of weapons support that Congress and Trump are sending to Israel.3 Our lawmakers must immediately pass this bill!

Global outrage over Israel’s starvation of the Palestinian people is not slowing the Israeli army’s onslaught on Gaza. Congress putting an end to U.S. support for Israel’s violent campaign would save countless lives.
The “Gaza Riviera” plan, developed by some of the same Israelis behind the insidious Gaza Humanitarian Foundation that has repeatedly massacred starving Palestinian aid seekers, mirrors Trump’s calls to “clean out” and redevelop Gaza.4
Earlier this year, Trump said, “The U.S. will take over the Gaza Strip and we will do a job with it too. We’ll own it,” and “You’re talking about a million and a half people...we just clean out that whole thing.”5
Israel’s ongoing invasion of Gaza City and starvation of the Palestinian people, which has now killed at least 130 children from malnutrition,6 chart a clear, horrific, deadly path towards the “Gaza Riviera.” Our lawmakers must change course and move quickly, firmly, and with moral clarity to stop supporting Israel’s murder of Palestinians.
