Exclusive: group behind notorious Florida immigration detention center created bid for reconstruction deal

Trump administration insiders and well-connected Republican businesses have been jostling to dominate pending humanitarian aid and reconstruction logistics in the shattered Gaza Strip, according to sources and documents reviewed by the Guardian.

With three-quarters of Gaza’s structures damaged or destroyed by two years of Israeli strikes, the rebuilding effort to come – estimated at $70bn by the United Nations – could be a rich prize for companies that specialize in construction, demolition, transportation and logistics.

But there’s no way to issue long-term contracts for reconstruction or humanitarian aid yet: a Board of Peace, chaired by Donald Trump, was endorsed by the United Nations to administer the territory but is not yet in operation. And the mandate of the new Civil-Military Coordination Center is limited.

    No one cares what you are specifically talking about. It’s a moot fuckin point and bringing it up again literally hurts any argument you might actually have. Frame it differently or get the fuck off the horse.

      I’m not arguing anything here. I’m asking a question. I also wasn’t the one to bring it up, that is on the parent commenter.

      And as of now, only one person has actually answered the question, as presented, without changing the subject.
