In November of 2025 the UN Security council adopted Resolution 2803, creating a consensus of dominant states around the “Trump plan” for Gaza and running roughshod over basic principles of international law. The Resolution and the Trump plan are themselves closely related in origin and design to a series of other blueprints for a post-genocide Gaza that materialise, in a kind of diagram of dispossession, an authoritarian neoliberal vision of privatised enclaves, special economic zones and a logistics hub run by networks of boards, investors and security forces, with only passing references to law in any recognisable form. Palestinian scholar Rafeef Ziadah has termed this an “infrastructure of normalization” that “is being assembled piece by piece, through concrete, contracts and cables.” In this talk, I will explore the meaning, materiality and temporality of this infrastructure, to reflect on the specific place of logistics – including the India-Middle East-Europe Economic Corridor – in the accumulative and political strategies of a multiplicity of actors who are treating the genocide in Gaza as an occasion for new rounds of capital accumulation and “Abrahamic” regional integration.
