Israel-Linked Consortium Floats Explosive Plan: Tokenize & Sell Gaza Land on Blockchain

Real estate meets radical digitization—with geopolitical dynamite attached.

A shadowy business group with ties to Israel is pitching a blockchain solution that'd make Wall Street blush: tokenizing disputed Gaza territory for global investors. No dirt, just digital deeds.

The pitch? 'Democratize ownership' while bypassing thorny sovereignty debates. Critics call it conflict commodification 3.0—with 100% more crypto buzzwords.

One hedge fund manager quipped: 'Finally, a warzone IPO where the only thing exploding are token valuations.' Too soon? The market will decide.

The project teases a ‘Trump Riviera’ and an ‘Elon Zone’ 

The Financial Times reported seeing the project presentation where the group of Israeli businessmen showcased the controversial concept of a post-war Gaza with a “Trump Riviera” and an “Elon Musk Smart Manufacturing Zone.”  

The “Gaza Riviera” is a concept with artificial islands similar to those in Dubai. The Riviera is envisioned as a low-tax special economic zone with blockchain-based trade initiatives and a sea port that connects Gaza to the India–Middle East–Europe economic corridor.

One slide envisions a manufacturing zone in northern Gaza that would host American electric-vehicle companies and factories. These facilities would receive shipments of materials and minerals from neighboring countries, assemble batteries and vehicles, and export them to Europe.

The factories would be powered by gas from the Gaza-Marine and photovoltaic (PV) energy, and would hire skilled and low-cost workers. Delivering the vehicles to Europe would incur minimal costs since they would be shipped via Al-Arish Port with 0% tax. The initiative aims to compete with Chinese EV makers. 

The slide claimed that this arrangement would make EV companies profitable while “giving a better future for Palestinians and Israelis.”

The ‘Great Trust’ proposal features more projects and companies

The “Trump Riviera” and the “Elon Musk Smart Manufacturing Zone” are not the only projects. The slide deck names a total of ten so-called “Mega Projects,” including Gaza planned cities, the MBS Ring Highway, the MBZ Central Highway, Gaza infrastructure rebuild, an American Data SAFE Haven, the Abrahamic Infrastructure Corridor (including a Gaza–Israel gas pipeline), the Abraham Gateway logistics hub in Rafah, a regional water hub, and a new Gaza seaport and airport.

According to the Financial Times, the “Great Trust” proposal included logos of giant companies like Tesla, Amazon, and IKEA, suggesting investor interest. However, none of those companies were involved or consulted. 

Sources said that the “Great Trust” deck was compiled in April, ahead of the Israeli and US attacks on Iran. One person said to FT that “It is the work of a group of business people who have worked tirelessly over the past 20 months to create a better future for Gaza.”
