Israel has killed more than 700 people in Gaza since last year’s US-brokered ‘ceasefire’. Dubai-based logistics giant DP World has held talks with representatives linked to Donald Trump’s “Board of Peace” over managing supply chains and infrastructure projects in Gaza. Discussions explored the possibility of partnering to oversee logistics for humanitarian aid and commercial goods entering the Palestinian enclave, including building a new port and creating a free-trade zone. Critics have raised concerns about sidelining Palestinians and bypassing international institutions in plans to privatize Gaza’s services and infrastructure.
Why It Matters
As Israel continues to occupy parts of Gaza and aid access remains restricted, talks between DP World and the “Board of Peace” highlight efforts to address logistical challenges in the region. The proposed partnership could potentially lead to the development of a secure supply chain system and an economic ecosystem in Gaza. With the need for $71.4bn for Gaza’s reconstruction over the next decade, these discussions could play a significant role in shaping the future of the war-torn territory.
