Donald Trump, during a meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, suggested the idea of “taking over” Gaza and expelling Palestinians, with the potential for real estate development that could benefit his family. This aligns with reports that Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law and former senior advisor, has significant investments in Israeli property development and has expressed similar views. For example, Kushner has previously stated in interviews that Gaza’s waterfront property could be valuable if “developed,” implying a focus on economic potential rather than the humanitarian or political complexities of the region.
Additionally, the involvement of Saudi Arabia, which has invested in Kushner’s private equity firm, adds another layer to the discussion, as it suggests potential financial and geopolitical ties that could influence such proposals.
