Gaza's Rafah Border Crossing Reopens; Kushner's Plan for "New Gaza" Surfaces

Gaza's Rafah border crossing with Egypt reopened on February 2, 2026, after being sealed for nearly a year, according to NPR. The reopening is a key step in the ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas. However, as of the afternoon of February 2, no one had crossed the border.

Meanwhile, also on February 2, 2026, details emerged regarding a plan by Jared Kushner for the future of Gaza. The plan envisions a "New Gaza" featuring loft-style apartments with floor-to-ceiling windows, an off-shore oil and gas rig, advanced industrial zones, and park-lined neighborhoods, according to NPR. The plan was revealed amidst discussions at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, where Kushner spoke after the signing of a Board of Peace charter on January 22, 2026.

Palestinians have expressed concerns that Kushner's vision "erases what's left of their homes," according to NPR.

The reopening of the Rafah border crossing and the unveiling of Kushner's plan occur as the region continues to grapple with ongoing tensions and the aftermath of recent conflicts. The Rafah crossing is a vital point of entry and exit for people and goods, and its closure has had a significant impact on the Gazan population.

It remains to be seen how Kushner's plan will be received by various stakeholders and what impact it will have on the future of Gaza.
