Israel’s Finance Minister Calls Gaza Strip a ‘real estate bonanza’

Israel’s Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich says that the Gaza Strip is a “real estate bonanza,” and that he is in talks with the Americans on how to divide it up the coastal enclave after the war, The Times of Israel writes.

There is “a real estate bonanza” in Gaza that “pays for itself” and he has “already started negotiations with the Americans,” a far-right minister said at a real estate conference in Tel Aviv.

“We have poured a lot of money into this war. We have to see how we are dividing up the land in percentages,” Smotrich says, adding that “the demolition, the first stage in the city’s renewal, we have already done. Now we just need to build,” Smotrich said.
