_Gaza and Its Future Development

We would like the world community to conceive of a new environment in Gaza similar to Dubai, and to use the wealth of oil to finance the development of a modern port. We would like Gaza to be offered rail access to the Gulf of Aqaba, whereby freight shipped to the port in Gaza could then be transshipped to the Gulf of Aqaba by rail. We would also like Gaza to be offered a rail corridor to the West Bank for freight and passengers. 

In this way, Palestinians can have access by rail to come in and out of Gaza. They should also be given access to travel via an international airport in the West Bank. We would ask that at the conclusion of any agreed border, the two nations would meet again in 10 to 20 years, if not before, to establish meaningful automobile and vehicular routes across the regio_n._
