    Rebuilding homes in Gaza will cost the US $40bn

    Because let’s be real here, Israel isn’t gonna let any Palestinians stay there and the US won’t dare not give them money thanks to evangelical death cultists.

      It’s not just evangelicals. Don’t underestimate the massive conservative financial interests in Israel, hence the Israel Anti-Boycott Act.

    Great business opportunity for American and Israeli companies. I wonder how long it will take to bring all those children back to life.

    Not sure why they’d publish this, Israel is 100% going to take the land that was bombed and leave them with an even smaller parcel than before. The homes that are rebuilt will be Israel’s homes.

      Taking the land is obviously their goal, but can Israel accomplish this?

      They have yet to secure north Gaza. Hamas is still killing invaders with Yasin RPG and they are still launching bathtub rockets into Israel.

      The economic clock is ticking, Israel is taking significant economic damage by having such a huge fraction of their workforce be unavailable. It’s not just the conscripted soldiers, it’s the large civilian population that temporarily fled homes in both the south and north of Israel.

      Also the international situation is a wildcard. Without western support, Israel’s only option will be retreat.

    How can one possibly give a 16 year timeframe? I mean, the level of parallelization has to be unknown. There’s no critical path that lasts 16 years.

      Article explains the reasoning. They chose the metric of moving building materials into devastated areas
