كشفت صحيفة «فاينانشيال تايمز»، مخططا يحمل اسم «أرورا» لتهجير الفلسطينيين إلى خارج قطاع غزة، أعدته مجموعة بوسطن للاستشارات الأمريكية. وأفادت الصحيفة البريطانية في تقرير لها، بأن تلك المجموعة وضعت نماذج لتكاليف «تهجير الفلسطينيين من غزة»، ووقعت عقداً بعدة ملايين من الدولارات للمساعدة في تنفيذ المشروع، قبل أن تنسحب وتفصل اثنين من كبار الشركاء، بعد الكشف عن عملها على خطط بشأن مستقبل غزة بعد الحرب الإسرائيلية.
وذكرت الصحيفة أن شركة الاستشارات الأمريكية، ساهمت في تأسيس «مؤسسة غزة الإنسانية» المدعومة من إسرائيل والولايات المتحدة، ودعمت شركة أمنية مرتبطة بها، لكنها تخلت عن المشروع الذي قتلت إسرائيل من خلاله المئات من الفلسطينيين أمام مراكز توزيع المساعدات، وطردت اثنين من الشركاء في الشركة الشهر الماضي.
ووفق مصادر مطلعة فإن دور شركة الاستشارات المعروفة اختصاراً بـ BCG كان أكبر بكثير مما أعلنته، إذ أكدوا أنه امتد لنحو 7 أشهر، بعقد بلغت قيمته 4 ملايين دولار. وذكرت المصادر أن أكثر من 10 أشخاص من الشركة انخرطوا بشكل مباشر في المشروع الذي حمل الاسم الكودي «أرورا» Aurora (الشفق القطبي)، بين أكتوبر 2024 ونهاية مايو الماضي.
وحسب الصحيفة، فإن مسؤولين كباراً في شركة بوسطن للاستشارات، بمن في ذلك رئيس قطاع إدارة المخاطر في الشركة، ورئيس قطاع التأثير الاجتماعي، كانوا منخرطين في المشروع.
ولفتت «الفاينانشيال»، إلى أن فريق الشركة بنى النموذج المالي لعملية إعادة إعمار غزة بعد الحرب، والذي تضمن كلفة تقديرية لـ«إعادة توطين»، مئات الآلاف من الفلسطينيين في خارج القطاع، والتأثير الاقتصادي لتهجير بهذا الحجم.
وقدر أحد السيناريوهات، أن أكثر من نصف مليون من سكان غزة سيغادرون القطاع بـ«حزم لإعادة التوطين»، قدرها 9 آلاف دولار لكل شخص، أو نحو 5 مليارات دولار في المجمل، إلا أن الشركة أعلنت أن مسؤولين كباراً في الشركة «تم تضليلهم»، بشأن نطاق العمل الذي يقوم به كبار الشركاء الذين يديرون المشروع.
وبشأن العمل على خطة غزة ما بعد الحرب، ذكرت الشركة أنه تم إبلاغ الشريك الأساسي في مشروع غزة برفض قاطع، وخالف توجيهاتنا، ونحن نتبرأ من هذا العمل.
ووصف 9 أشخاص على إطلاع بالمشروع الذي أعدته شركة بوسطن للاستشارات، كيف انخرطت الشركة المرموقة عالمياً بعمق في مخطط يناصره البيت الأبيض، لكنه يواجه رفضاً عالمياً.
ولم تعلن بوسطن للاستشارات من قبل سوى عن القليل بشأن نطاق انخراطها في المشروع، ووصفت العمل الذي كانت تقوم به على أنه بدأ كمشروع بدون مقابل في أكتوبر 2024، للمساعدة في تأسيس مؤسسة الإغاثة، والتي كان يفترض أن تعمل إلى جانب مؤسسات إغاثية أخرى.
وزعمت الشركة في وقت لاحق، أن هذا العمل تم «بدون إذن من قيادتها»، وسعت لإلقاء اللوم على «سوء تقدير» اثنين من كبار الشركاء بوحدتها الدفاعية في واشنطن.
وقالت الشركة لـلصحيفة، إن تحقيقها المستمر في الأمر، والذي يجري بواسطة شركة محاماة خارجية أكد خيبة الأمل العميقة التي أعربنا عنها قبل أسابيع.

The "Financial Times" revealed a plan named "Aurora" for the displacement of Palestinians outside the Gaza Strip, prepared by the Boston Consulting Group. The British newspaper reported that this group created models for the costs of "displacing Palestinians from Gaza" and signed a contract worth several million dollars to assist in implementing the project, before withdrawing and dismissing two senior partners after their work on plans regarding Gaza's future post-Israeli war was exposed.
The newspaper mentioned that the American consulting firm contributed to the establishment of the "Gaza Humanitarian Foundation," supported by Israel and the United States, and backed a security company linked to it, but abandoned the project through which Israel killed hundreds of Palestinians in front of aid distribution centers, and expelled two partners from the company last month.
According to informed sources, the role of the consulting firm known as BCG was much larger than what was announced, as they confirmed it extended for about 7 months, with a contract valued at 4 million dollars. The sources indicated that more than 10 people from the company were directly involved in the project codenamed "Aurora" (the Northern Lights), between October 2024 and the end of May.
According to the newspaper, senior officials at the Boston Consulting Group, including the head of the risk management sector and the head of the social impact sector, were involved in the project.
The "Financial" pointed out that the company's team built the financial model for the reconstruction of Gaza after the war, which included an estimated cost for the "resettlement" of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians outside the strip, and the economic impact of such large-scale displacement.
One scenario estimated that more than half a million residents of Gaza would leave the strip with "resettlement packages" estimated at 9,000 dollars per person, or about 5 billion dollars in total, but the company announced that senior officials were "misled" about the scope of the work being done by the senior partners managing the project.
Regarding the work on the post-war Gaza plan, the company stated that the primary partner in the Gaza project was informed of a categorical rejection, and violated our directives, and we disavow this work.
Nine people familiar with the project prepared by the Boston Consulting Group described how the globally prestigious company became deeply involved in a scheme supported by the White House, but facing global rejection.
Boston Consulting had previously announced little about the scope of its involvement in the project, describing the work it was doing as having started as a pro bono project in October 2024, to help establish the relief foundation, which was supposed to work alongside other relief organizations.
The company later claimed that this work was done "without the permission of its leadership," and sought to blame the "misjudgment" of two senior partners in its defense unit in Washington.
The company told the newspaper that its ongoing investigation into the matter, conducted by an external law firm, confirmed the deep disappointment we expressed weeks ago.
