It is the American newspaper The Washington Post that comes with the information about the 38-page document that outlines what – if President Donald Trump gets his way – will become the "Riviera of the Middle East".
The plan sketches a modern society with green areas, luxurious housing, skyscrapers, modern infrastructure, and a factory for electric cars. The area is intended to become a tourist magnet and a hub for tech innovation.
How the strip is to be governed is unclear, but according to the plan, some form of joint guardianship will initially take place where the USA has a prominent role together with Israel, to then lead to "a reformed Palestinian self-government".
The reconstruction is expected to take at least ten years.
5,000 dollars and paid rent
The population of around two million people is expected to either move "voluntarily" to another country against a cash payment of 5,000 dollars and promises of paid rent for five years and food for one year, or settle in designated zones within Gaza while the reconstruction is underway.
According to the document, those who own land will be offered a kind of digital currency that can be used to start a new life outside Gaza or exchanged for a home when the reconstruction is complete.
The plan is dismissed by Hamas representatives.
Gaza is not for sale, says Bassem Naim, who is part of the terror-stamped movement's politburo, to AFP.
For many Palestinians, discussions about moving them from their homes immediately bring to mind al-Nakba ("The Catastrophe") in 1948, when hundreds of thousands of Palestinians were displaced in connection with the formation of the state of Israel.
37-year-old Qasem Habib, who lives in a tent in Gaza City, calls the plan "nonsense".
Put pressure
If they want to help Gaza, they know what is required: put pressure on (Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin) Netanyahu to stop the war and the killing, he says to AFP.
Some of the architects behind the plan are the same people who are behind the highly controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which handles food distribution in Gaza. In connection with GHF's distribution of food, more than 1,300 people have been killed, according to the UN's human rights organization OHCHR.
Neither the White House nor the US State Department has commented on the information.
