Israeli minister touts Gaza 'real estate bonanza', defying international backlash [View all]

Israel's far-right finance minister Bezalel Smotrich has said the Gaza Strip could be a "real estate bonanza" and that he is in talks with the US about dividing up the territory after the war - an idea previously condemned internationally.

Speaking at an event in Tel Aviv, he said "a business plan is on President Trump's table".

"We've done the demolition phase... Now we need to build," he said.
...
"We paid a lot of money for this war," said Smotrich. "So we need to divide how we make a percentage on the land marketing later".
