In a surprising move, Jared Kushner, son-in-law of former President Donald Trump, has revealed his unconventional solution to the ongoing bloodshed and displacement in Gaza. During an interview conducted by Tarek Masoud, the faculty chair of Harvard's Middle East Initiative, Kushner proposed a real estate development plan that involves relocating Palestinians to Israel's arid Negev desert region.
Kushner suggested that by moving Palestinians away from Gaza's "valuable" waterfront property, the area could be transformed into a hub for livelihood and prosperity. However, he did not clarify who exactly would benefit from such a project, raising concerns among critics about potential profit motives.
The proposal comes at a time when the United Nations has issued warnings about an impending famine in Gaza, as Israel continues its offensive. Kushner's suggestion of displacing Palestinians from the waterfront to the Negev desert has sparked outrage and raised questions about the feasibility and ethics of such a plan.
"I would just bulldoze something in the Negev, I would try to move people in there," Kushner stated, acknowledging the unpopularity of his idea. He argued that this option would allow for the completion of the job at hand, without providing further details on what exactly that job entails.
Describing the Negev as "oppressively hot" and "filled with dirt, rocks, and canyons," the proposal put forth by Kushner has been met with skepticism and criticism. Concerns have been raised over the potential prohibition of Palestinians from returning to Gaza, as well as the humanitarian implications of relocating them to an inhospitable desert.
In response to questions about the possible creation of a Palestinian state, Kushner dismissed the idea as a "super bad idea," claiming it would essentially reward acts of terror. He further highlighted his detachment from the situation by mentioning his current location in Miami Beach, stating, "I'm sitting in Miami Beach right now, and I'm thinking: what would I do if I was there?"
Kushner emphasized that he was uncertain if Israeli officials were seriously considering his proposal. Nevertheless, his remarks have raised eyebrows and sparked a debate over the potential consequences of adopting such a controversial strategy.
As the international community closely follows the situation in Gaza and monitors the actions and statements of influential figures like Kushner, it remains to be seen how his proposed real estate solution will be received and whether any further developments will arise from these discussions.
