Saying No to Trump’s ‘Riviera’ Plan

Marwan Muasher is vice president for studies at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace, where he oversees research in Washington and Beirut on the Middle East. Diwan interviewed him in early March to get his perspective on the Egyptian reconstruction plan for Gaza, which the Arab countries endorsed at a summit in Cairo on March 5 as an alternative to President Donald Trump’s plan. The Trump plan seeks to permanently remove Palestinians from the territory and resettle them in Arab countries, while developing Gaza as a “Riviera.”
