In a February \u20622024 interview,Kushner discussed potential plans\u200b for Gaza,urging the relocation of its current residents to rebuild the \u200barea,emphasizing its potential value as waterfront \u200dproperty. This notion resurfaced after Trump proposed that the \u200bU.S. take the \u200clead in reconstructing \u2062Gaza following <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/israel-war-over-100-targets-struck-in-gaza-terror-nest\/\" title=\"Over 100 targets hit in ... &#039;terror nest&#039; during Israel war.\">extensive destruction caused<\/a> by ongoing conflict with Hamas. Trump described his vision \u200dof Gaza as \u2064a \u201cRiviera of the Middle East.\u201d Kushner&#8217;s\u200b remarks on the situation in Gaza\u2064 have drawn criticism, particularly focusing on the resort idea rather than on broader humanitarian issues he addressed during the \u200binterview.\u2063 Despite no longer being part of the management, Kushner previously played a key role in U.S. Middle East policy, contributing to the \u2064Abraham Accords during Trump&#8217;s first term.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">Jared Kushner first to suggest Gaza resort Trump presented<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1973045\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>It appears to be a classic case of <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\">great minds thinking alike<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Nearly a year before President <a href=\"https:\/\/washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/donald-trump\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Donald Trump\">Donald Trump<\/a> suggested <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/3310439\/trump-netanyahu-own-gaza-strip-hamas\/\" title=\"\">taking over<\/a> the war-torn <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/gaza\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title=\"Gaza\">Gaza<\/a> Strip and turning it into a resort on Tuesday, his developer son-in-law said the Hamas haunt could be turned into a Middle Eastern resort.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;m sitting in Miami Beach right now,&rdquo; Kushner said. &ldquo;And I&rsquo;m looking at the situation, and I&rsquo;m thinking: What would I do if I was there?&rdquo;<\/p>\n<p>He suggested that those left in Gaza could be moved out, just as Trump said Tuesday night.
