Jared Kushner behind Trump's plan to take over Gaza - Report | 5 Feb 2025 | Former White House senior adviser Jared Kushner was reportedly behind his father-in-law U.S. President Donald Trump's plan, announced yesterday, for the U.S. to take over Gaza and clear it of Palestinians. Kushner was involved in crafting Trump's prepared remarks that he made alongside Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House, Puck news reports, citing an anonymous source familiar with the matter. Netanyahu had not requested that Trump pursue such a plan ahead of time, Puck adds. Kushner appeared to hint at the entire idea in a speech he gave last year. "Gaza's waterfront property -- it could be very valuable, if people would focus on building up livelihoods," Kushner said during an event at Harvard.
