Senior White House adviser Jared Kushner unveiled a massive real estate plan aimed at transforming the devastated Gaza Strip into a tourist hub and beach resort on the Mediterranean Sea during a presentation at the World Economic Forum on Thursday.
Undeterred by sharp resistance from the majority of the world after President Donald Trump’s initial announcement of the plan last February, Kushner proposed the reconstruction of the strip could be completed within three years if Hamas fully disarms.
Speaking at the signing ceremony for Trump’s “Board of Peace,” Kushner, the son-in-law of the U.S. president, shared a set of slides illustrating his group’s vision for the Gaza Strip after 58 years of illegal Israeli military occupation, oppression and most recently, genocide against the Palestinian people there.
It also reflects a vision of the strip under the hypothetical conditions of a demilitarized Hamas, which has repeatedly refused to disarm arguing that it would leave them defenseless against continued aggressions from the Israeli army. Since the October 10 “ceasefire” agreement, credible reports indicate Israel has violated its terms over 1,000 times, killing more than 460 Palestinians and injuring around 1,200.
Kushner’s power point included computer-generated images of high-rise buildings along the coast with rows of residential structures elsewhere in the strip.
