According to the U.S. State Department, the average wage in the West Bank is $32 and $13 in Gaza. That’s about $5,200 per year for the average Gaza worker. So 20 years of gross income would be $108,000.

If nobody advances a reasonable plan, then the plan adopted may be the only one standing.

This may be Trump's plan, to clear out the Gaza Strip and rebuild it his way. And if he is paying for it, how can the Arab world object? They had their chance.

Would it change anyone's minds (either Gazans' or potential host countries') if each Gazan household was offered $100K to emigrate? With 300,000 households, it would cost $30B.
