Palestinians in Gaza say they are determined to rebuild their own seafront restaurants and hotels, dismissing United States President Donald Trump’s vision of creating a “Riviera of the Middle East” emptied of its population and under US control. Before Israel’s 15-month offensive left buildings across Gaza in ruins, the densely inhabited Palestinian territory had developed a local tourism scene on its Mediterranean shore despite a long blockade. “There is nothing that cannot be repaired,” said Gaza resident Assad Abu Haseira, pledging to start serving food from the restaurant he owns even before it is rebuilt.
