US President Donald Trump’s advisor and son-in-law, Jared Kushner, has floated a plan that would see only Israeli occupied parts of Gaza reconstructed, while leaving those where Hamas is the main authority without reconstruction funds.
“There are considerations happening now in the area that the IDF controls, as long as that can be secured, to start the construction as a new Gaza in order to give the Palestinians living in Gaza a place to go, a place to get jobs, a place to live,” Kushner said on Tuesday.
According to Kushner, no funds for reconstruction would go to areas that remain under Hamas’s control.
The Wall Street Journal reported that Kushner is the driving force behind the plan, which he shared with Trump. The US President agreed to it, the WSJ reported.
The report added that the plan could change.
