Bonjour Palestine! France to Build Embassy and €2 Billion Beach Resorts in Gaza

PARIS, July 26, 2025 — France has stunned the world with plans for a dazzling embassy in Gaza and a €2 billion investment in luxury beach resorts, shouting “Bonjour Palestine!” after recognizing Palestine as a state. Dubbed the “Gaza Riviera,” this bold move aims to turn conflict-scarred shores into a French paradise. Israel, surprisingly, welcomes the plan, with officials saying, “We’re thrilled for croissants next door—peace through pastries!”

The initiative includes direct charter flights from Paris to Gaza via Cairo, with “Peace Class” champagne service for tourists and diplomats alike. French Riviera-style resorts will line the coast, designed by Provencal architects and offering sunset camel rides, non-alcoholic wine tastings, and a La Promenade de Résistance for evening strolls under drones.

At the center will stand L’Ambassade Bleu, a 5-star hotel doubling as the French Embassy, where foreign policy will be conducted in flip-flops. Guests can relax at the Reconciliation Wave Pool or enjoy a massage while discussing regional security.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu praised the initiative:
“Finally, someone is investing in Gaza’s infrastructure—preferably far away from our borders. We look forward to welcoming French tourists… as long as they don’t bring any ‘unfriendly souvenirs’ back.”
