Using slides showing images of gleaming skyscrapers and apartments, Jared Kushner presented a Trump-backed “master plan” for the rebuilding of Gaza.
Kushner, President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, said during Thursday’s presentation at the World Economic Forum in Davos that postwar Gaza would become “a place that the people … can thrive, have great employment.”
“In the Middle East they build cities like this, you know for 2 or 3 million people, they build this in three years,” said Kushner, who has no official title but has been part of the US-backed Gaza peace negotiations.
“And so, stuff like this is very doable if we make it happen,” he said, speaking immediately after Trump presented his ambitious “Board of Peace” designed to oversee the Gaza truce and Strip’s reconstruction.
Kushner spoke of needing investments of at least $25 billion (€21.3 billion) to rebuild Gaza’s shattered infrastructure and public services.
“It could be a hope. It could be a destination,” he said.
