Last week, I had the opportunity to attend Q&A session with @BillAckman. Noted down a few takeaways from his stories.
Foreign policy isn’t complicated. When you signal you might pull support for an ally like Israel, you diminish deterrence. When you diminish deterrence, the enemy feels emboldened to strike.
Then you have to actually consider getting involved in a war because you were too chicken to show strength in the first place.
Happens over and over again throughout history.
It has now happened again because Biden signaled waning support for Israel. Now a potential war is erupting.
A few high-level thoughts on a potential solution in Gaza:
Step one:
Give Gazan residents something to look forward to. Without hope, there is only despair, anger, and violence.
Hope comes from Israel’s and United States’ commitment that once Hamas is destroyed, Israel and the U.S. will support the creation of New Gaza subject to security commitments from the U.S. and Gulf states.
New Gaza is completely rebuilt with modern infrastructure, sustainable energy and clean water, world-class architecture, technology, healthcare, education, favorable taxation, thoughtfully designed business creation incentives, and world class resorts on the Mediterranean.
The design of New Gaza begins immediately with a global competition where master planners, architects, technologists, form consortiums to compete for large financial awards and the opportunity to build a new city from a blank sheet of paper.
New Gaza is a model city. Think the Saudi https://t.co/2PpwbLJund but on the Mediterranean. New Gaza is rebuilt and governed by a consortium of Gulf states and the U.S.
Economic and tax incentives are designed to encourage private foreign investment so private sector investors have a vested long term interest in Gaza and businesses are incentivized to locate in Gaza.
Step two:
Civilians in Rafa are moved to a refugee camp safe zone built in the Negev desert adjoining Gaza.
Step three:
IDF destroys Hamas.
Step four:
The reconstruction of Gaza begins.
Step five:
Civilians return as the city is rebuilt.
As always, I welcome your feedback.
If you have nothing constructive to say, please keep it to yourself. Flame throwing accomplishes nothing.
If you think this a bad approach, please share your better ideas.

The ripple effects of poor liability behaviour extend beyond immediate repercussions. By neglecting our responsibilities today, we risk sowing seeds of division for future generations, leaving them a legacy of discord and misunderstanding.
