"The discussions form part of longstanding proposals by US officials to privatise much of the Palestinian territory's services and infrastructure as part of their plans for a new Gaza."
"Critics have accused such plans of sidelining Palestinians, bypassing international institutions, including the United Nations, and risking legitimisation of the forced displacement of Palestinians from their land."
"A draft proposal described a vision for a secure and traceable supply chain system and a port-led economic ecosystem, alongside light industry and job-creation platforms."

Israel's military actions have led to more than 700 deaths in Gaza since the US-brokered ceasefire. DP World has engaged in talks regarding managing supply chains and infrastructure projects in Gaza, potentially partnering with Donald Trump's Board of Peace. Proposed initiatives include a new port, a free-trade zone, and a secure supply chain system. Critics argue these plans could marginalize Palestinians and bypass international institutions, as peace efforts remain stalled amid ongoing Israeli occupation and restricted aid access.
