‘Evil’ Proposal to Sell Gaza Land Via Crypto Tokens Met With Backlash

The Tony Blair Institute helped form a plan that suggested to sell land in Gaza through blockchain -tokens, the Financial times Reported Monday, after paying Palestinians to leave their land. The tokenization project would also have rebuilt the region with artificial islands in Dubai style and ‘blockchain-trade initiatives’, complete with areas with Elon Musk and Donald Trump theme.

The report was confronted with great stirs from Palestinian activists – of whom someone described the proposed plan Decrypt If ‘not only grotesque’, but ‘evil’.

A slide deck entitled ‘Great Trust’ was developed by the Boston Consulting Group, or BCG, the Ft Reported on Sunday, with the participation of two employees of the Tony Blair Institute – an organization founded by the former British Prime Minister. It was shared with the Trump government, according to the Ftwho echoed similar feelings in February.

The deck suggested paying half a million Palestinians to leave Gaza to attract private investors to redevelop the area after the Bomstations of Israel. It suggested that the public country in Gaza would be brought into a trust and sold via “Digital tokens that were traded on a blockchain.” Gazans could add their private country to trust in exchange for a token that would give them the right to a residential unit.

“The process to which is referred is a common in real-world assets”, Chris Yin, co-founder and CEO of RWA Project Plume networkexplained to Decrypt. “The title for the country is placed in a special vehicle that does only one thing – in this case a confidence that the title is holding. Then the shares that are owned in that confidence are token and beaten on a blockchain.”

As a result, Sam Mudie, co-founder and CEO of Tokenization Project Savasaid to Decrypt That country in Gaza would become an international investment option with tokens that may be traded on centralized fairs.

But although the plan shows a sort of real-world assets-tokenization that is increasingly being assumed by other projects, the proposal has been received with a serious recoil by Palestinian proponents who see it as disturbing and opportunistic in the midst of the violent recent conflict.

“Those damn monsters want to steal all the Palestinian country and sell it back to them?” Paul Biggarfounder of Tech for Palestinesaid in response to reading the plan.

A source told the Ft That the people of Gaza will be encouraged to leave, predictive via a BCG -Financial model that 25% of the Palestinians would leave the region. BCG calculated that moving Palestinians outside of Gaza would be cheaper than offering support in reconstructing the area.

“Palestinians want to live in their house. That is the simple truth in the heart of this,” Dr. Ashok KumarAssistantial teacher political economy at the Birkbeck Business School, said Decrypt. He suggested that the ‘siege’ of Israel on Gaza was designed to make life so unbearable for the survivors that they are forced to ‘choose exile’.

The Tony Blair Institute and BCG did not respond DecryptThe request for comments. Both are distance from the proposal in comments to the FtWith the Tony Blair Institute that claims limited participation and BCG said her leadership was misled about the scope of the project.

The deck also includes the construction of “World Class Resorts” called “Gaza Trump Riviera & Islands”, as well as an industrial area called “The Elon Musk” Smart Manufacturing “Zone.”

In February, President Trump suggested that Gaza could be reconstructed under the United States rule as the “Riviera van het Midden -Sosten‘A claim that now reflects the plans that are described in the now listened deck.

The deck also proposes a coastline made by humans, similar to Dubai with “blockchain-based trade initiatives”. Mudie explained that this could mean a Gaza Stablecoin whether the trade in the blockchain of the region could process to reduce paperwork. Yin suggested that this could mean a crypto-friendly environment related to Dubai to stimulate blockchain activity in the region.

But Palestinian supporters don’t buy the field.

“Just like vultures circling a dying body, men like Tony Blair, multi -millionaire, war criminal, are profitable, profitable, to dive into and earning millions from the rubble – the country from which people were driven,” Dr. Kumar. “This is not only grotesque. It’s bad.”

“The lives of the people and their houses are worth less than dollars for them,” Loopify, pseudonymous game developer and founder of Charity Cryptogazatold Decrypt.

Apart from the morality, experts believe that the tokenization goals of the deck can be elevated, even for the most simplistic of cases – only leaves one of the most complex regions in the world.

“To be honest, the gap between what the deck refers briefly and what is technically and legally possible is so huge,” Mudie ended. “Implementing commercial-scale real estate/landtokenization is probably 2-3 years removed, and that would be for small, simple use-cases-not massive plots in a political and geographically disputed country.”
