In Davos, Trump’s son-in-law tells Israelis criticizing inclusion of Turkey and Qatar to ‘calm down,’ says plan depends on Hamas disarming and offers amnesty for those who give up weapons

Senior White House adviser Jared Kushner on Thursday presented a plan to rebuild war-torn Gaza into a glitzy resort, which he said could happen in three years if Hamas demilitarizes in accordance with the next phase of US President Donald Trump’s peace plan.

“Without that, we can’t rebuild,” said Kushner at the signing ceremony in Davos for the Trump-chaired Board of Peace, which, according to the plan, is supposed to oversee the Strip’s reconstruction. “If Hamas does not demilitarize, that will be what holds back Gaza and the people of Gaza from achieving their aspiration.”

Kushner ended his presentation with a plea to Israel’s critics and to “Israelis criticizing Turkey or Qatar” — Hamas-supporting Board members whom Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has vowed to keep out of Gaza — to “just calm down for 30 days.”

“Our goal here is peace between Israel and the Palestinian people. Everyone wants to live peacefully. Everyone wants to live with dignity,” said Kushner, noting that Trump’s peace plan had required the cooperation of Arab and Muslim nations as well as Israel.

In his own comments, Trump, who is Kushner’s father-in-law, also vowed that “we’re going to be very successful in Gaza.”

“It’s going to be a great thing to watch,” he said. “I’m a real estate person at heart… and I said, look at this location on the sea. Look at this beautiful piece of property. What it could be for so many people.”

Kushner, who has no official title but is one of Trump’s envoys for the Gaza ceasefire, said the “master plan” for Gaza’s reconstruction aimed for “catastrophic success.”

With a slide showing dozens of shiny terraced apartment towers overlooking a tree-lined promenade, he promised a Mediterranean utopia rising from the scarred Gaza landscape.

“In the Middle East they build cities like this, you know for two or three million people, they build this in three years,” Kushner said.

“And so stuff like this is very doable if we make it happen.”

The plan includes a seaport and an airport, and will start in Rafah and move northward in phases until Gaza City, said Kushner, adding that “there is no plan B.”

The White House, he said, wants to bring “free market” economy principles to Gaza, reflecting the “same mindset, same approach” that Trump is implementing in the US.
