Jared Kushner, former White House adviser to Donald Trump, recently made comments regarding Gaza's 'waterfront property' during an interview. Kushner suggested that the area could be valuable if efforts were focused on building livelihoods instead of munitions and tunnels. He proposed that Israel should remove civilians from Gaza to 'clean up' the area, emphasizing the potential for improvement in Palestinian lives through international accountability.
Currently, around 1.5 million displaced Palestinians are residing in Rafah, Gaza, as Israel aims to combat Hamas following recent attacks. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has agreed to send officials to Washington for discussions with the Biden administration regarding a potential operation in Rafah.
Kushner also mentioned the possibility of relocating civilians to Egypt with diplomatic efforts and proposed plans for the Negev desert in southern Israel. He expressed a belief that Israel has made significant efforts to protect civilians during conflicts.
The Israel-Hamas war has become a prominent issue in the U.S. presidential election, with differing views between Biden and Trump. Trump's recent comments on Jewish voters and Democrats have sparked controversy, with criticism from various political figures.
Kushner, known for his involvement in Middle East peace initiatives during the Trump administration, stated that he is not interested in returning to the White House if Trump wins the 2024 election. He is currently focused on his investment business and residing with his family in Florida.
