The document suggested the strip would be able to go forward as a “secure, modern, prosperous society”.
Staff from the TBI also took part in a 12-person messaging group used for the budget, as well as producing a “Gaza economic blueprint”.

The TBI did not author or endorse the final slide deck, which was submitted to the Trump administration and suggested paying half a million Palestinians to leave Gaza.
Last week, it emerged that the BCG had previously modelled how much it would cost to relocate Palestinians from Gaza.
This prompted a backlash because the group was involved in establishing the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, a controversial new aid distribution group that had the backing of Israel and the US.
The BCG would later go on to distance itself from the project.

A spokesman for Blair said the former prime minister had neither spoken to the people who prepared the plans nor commented on them.
The spokesman added: “The TBI team speaks to many different groups and organisations with post-war ‘plans’ for Gaza, but had nothing to do with the authorship of this plan.
“TBI staff participated in two calls, as they have done with many other people with ‘Gaza plans’, and interacting with them doesn’t mean endorsement.
“The TBI document referred to is an internal TBI document looking at proposals being made by various parties covering all the different aspects of what a post-war Gaza could look like […] but it was not produced in connection with the BCG work nor given to BCG.”
