Gaza 2050: Between Trump's Riviera fantasy and Palestinians' dreams of home
By
Wafa Arouri
Summary
The article explores the dreams and visions of Gaza residents for their homeland in 2050, set against the backdrop of massive destruction where 70% of homes lie in ruins. It contrasts the fantastical idea of Trump's "Riviera" with the grounded, modest hopes of Palestinians who dream of rebuilding their lives, homes, and dignity. The piece reflects on the resilience and stubbornness of Gaza's people, their attachment to their land, and their visions of a future with gardens, rebuilt homes, and peace — far from the grandiose political fantasies imposed from outside.
