The only thing that people said was holding it back wasn't Israel.

What was holding it back was governance, and people wouldn't have confidence investing there with the rule that Hamas was perpetuating.

So I encourage people actually to look at the plan.

It was very thoughtful.

It was 181 pages.

We went project by project.

Each project is costed out.

It's a real plan that could be implemented, but you need the right governance.

And all of the different Arabic countries are willing to fund it.

The international community is willing to fund it because they've just been throwing so much money at the Palestinians for years.

That's never been outcomes based or conditions based.

It's just been, you know, entitlement money.

And unfortunately, it hasn't really achieved any outcomes that have been successful.

So it's a great business plan.

It just shows, too.

Rebuilding Gaza could be easy, but like I said, the problem that's held the Palestinian people back and that's made their lives terrible in Gaza has not been Israel.

It's really been Hamas's leadership or lack of leadership and their desire to focus on trying to kill Israelis and start war with Israel over improving the lives of the Palestinian people.

I mean, Hamas has been running it now for 16 years, and they don't have a lot to show for it.

And our posture with them was basically a very simple deal.

If you think about what's the end state in Gaza, it's actually not that complicated.
