Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff Drive Gaza Reconstruction Plan Benefiting Hamas

A reconstruction plan for Gaza, developed in coordination with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, centers on Jared Kushner and his associate Steve Witkoff. The plan, which Kushner promotes, aims to rebuild Gaza but is viewed with skepticism due to Kushner's extensive business interests and close ties to Gulf leaders, particularly in Saudi Arabia. These relationships, rooted in Kushner's role in brokering the Abraham Accords, have generated billions in profits for him, raising questions about his true motivations for Gaza's future.

Kushner's involvement is largely driven by financial ambitions to create investment opportunities in Gaza that would yield significant returns. Although Netanyahu was not enthusiastic about the plan, he has not rejected it outright, opting instead to postpone its implementation until after upcoming elections. The article warns that Kushner and Witkoff should not be considered traditional friends of Israel, as their approach to Israeli interests, including security concerns, aligns more with the patronage style of former U.S. President Donald Trump.

The piece highlights the complexity of the Gaza reconstruction effort, emphasizing that while the plan appears promising, its ultimate success and alignment with Israeli security interests remain uncertain. It also underscores the need for caution in dealing with figures whose priorities may not fully align with Israel's strategic goals.
