Is Netanyahu Doing the ‘Dirty Work’ for Blackrock?

CAPITALISM, 13 Oct 2025

Hermann Ploppa - TRANSCEND Media Service

An international group of investors is planning to create a state-of-the-art special economic zone in the Gaza Strip. The plan has reportedly already been approved by US President Trump.

“Gaza is described less as a society than as a distressed asset to be flipped. This is disaster capitalism at its sharpest. It is devastation reframed as the precondition for speculative profit.”  —Rafeef Ziadah

2 Oct 2025 – At the end of August, President Donald Trump met at the White House with his Secretary of State Marco Rubio, Special Envoy Steve Wittkoff, Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, and former British Prime Minister Tony Blair <1>. The gentlemen cordially discussed the 38-page exposé from an investor group. The document is titled “The GREAT Trust – From a Demolished Iranian Proxy to a Prosperous Abrahamic Ally” <2>. “GREAT” is capitalized. It is an abbreviation for “Gaza Reconstitution, Economic Acceleration and Transformation.”

A brief note on the Abraham Accords: in 2020, in the wake of the Corona campaign, Israel, Bahrain, and the United Arab Emirates signed a treaty that de facto stipulated close cooperation between the three countries in the areas of economics, military affairs, and foreign policy.

According to this plan, the Gaza Strip, formally still a separate state under Hamas control, is to be completely leveled in order to build an ultramodern special economic zone modeled on Singapore. A supranational trust company is to administer the Gaza Strip for ten years. Current residents of Gaza are to be given the choice of emigrating or staying and being housed in special complexes. Those who emigrate “voluntarily” will receive a cash advance of $5,000, as well as a four-year rental subsidy as a start-up aid. The investors expect that a quarter of the Palestinians will accept the offer of emigration.

Six to eight smart cities are to be built on the territory of the Gaza Strip. A circular railway bears the name of the Saudi Arabian Crown Prince and de facto ruler, Prince Mohammed bin Salman. A massive factory complex bears the name of Tesla entrepreneur and oligarch Elon Musk. The associated leisure and hotel resort, already familiar to us from a promotional video released by the White House, bears the name of the incumbent US President Donald Trump <3>. This futuristic conglomerate, managed by artificial intelligence, will be connected to the Saudi Arabian test-tube city of Neom <4>. The newly constructed port facilities are intended to significantly facilitate trade between India, the Arab world, and Europe.

These plans are cynical and inhumane. Even considering such plans when, at the same time, over 60,000 defenseless civilians are being murdered in Gaza, the civilian infrastructure has been almost completely destroyed, and people are starving, is situated in the worst colonial tradition. Those responsible for these perversities claim to belong to a rules-based community of Western nations that respects human values. Such plans cannot really be presented to the public without completely destroying one’s credibility.

The way in which we are slowly being introduced to this neo-colonial perversion is remarkable. It is introduced to us in most digestible bites. The Washington Post allegedly received the entire document and then published it as a “leak,” a leak in the shielded knowledge of the ruling class. What is strange about this, however, is that the Washington Post is owned by none other than Jeff Bezos. With an estimated market value of $200 billion, Jeff Bezos is not only one of the richest men in the world, but also the owner of the global corporation Amazon. However, Amazon is explicitly named in the allegedly leaked exposé as one of the investors involved in the GREAT project. Bezos would likely have vehemently denied that Amazon was involved in this project if this were not untrue. The Swedish company IKEA is also listed as a co-investor in the document, complete with its logo. However, according to the German BILD tabloid, IKEA has issued a denial <5>. Other investors in Techno-Gaza include the notorious “security firm” Academi (formerly known as Blackwater), the defense company Lockheed, and the car company Tesla, to name just a few well-known investors.

Despite the extremely outrageous plans contained in the GREAT paper, the reaction in the Western Hemisphere has been rather muted. In Germany, the BILD tabloid reported on this project in an unusually objective and fact-based manner. This is remarkable, because every prospective editor at Springer Verlag, the parent company of the BILD tabloid, is required upon hiring to commit not only to “transatlantic” understanding, but also to ensure positive reporting on the Israeli government. Here, too, one wonders why, especially from pro-Israeli sources, initial impressions of the bizarre GREAT project are being fed to our intellectual digestion in small bites. Is this a kind of “serum method”? Are we given a small dose of the gruesome truth, only to then no longer rebel when the facts are revealed?

Otherwise, only a single article appeared in the so-called alternative media landscape <6>. Perhaps the full extent to which the GREAT Project is embedded in the larger geopolitical picture is not yet fully realized. But let’s first examine the GREAT Trust Project in detail.

Gaza Reconstitution, Economic Acceleration and Transformation

Please note: the GREAT paper is not the half-baked figment of a few crazy daydreamers. The GREAT paper is a serious exposé with which a consortium of investors hopes to bring other potential investors on board. The GREAT paper therefore also makes a tough business case. Interested investors are hyped about how much return they can expect to achieve from the Gaza investment after ten years. A favorable investment climate is, of course, a prerequisite. For this, the governments of Israel and the USA, as guarantors of the trust, are to guarantee a secure investment. For this purpose, Trump and his cronies met at the White House. Graphics, illustrations, and the concept are already taken from a paper by Israeli businessmen from 2024, which was approved by Prime Minister Netanyahu and passed on to the USA <7>.

So, in the first year of the GREAT Plan, Hamas, which still stands in the way, is to be eliminated once and for all by Israeli military forces. During this first year, sovereignty over Gaza will remain with Israel. At the same time, the rubble of old Gaza will be cleared away, and any remaining bodies will be identified and buried.
