KUSHNER SUPPORTS ISRAEL’S FAR RIGHT-WING PLAN TO ETHNICALLY-CLEANSE
March 20, 2024Unveiling the Realities: Kushner’s Support for Far-Right Gaza Strategy 🚨
In this recent discussion at Harvard’s Kennedy Business School, Jared Kushner, the son-in-law and former senior policy advisor to former President Donald Trump, openly expressed support for a controversial plan aiming to ethnically cleanse Palestinians from Gaza. As fears mount among Arabs about the uncertain future of Gazans and their potential displacement, Kushner’s remarks shed light on the stark realities faced by the region.
“Maybe, but I’m not sure there’s much left of Gaza at this point,” Kushner stated, highlighting the strategic value Gaza’s waterfront holds for potential development.
Josh Rogin American foreign policy columnist for The Washington Post was swift to respond describing Kushner’s stance as callous and insensitive, and highlighting the dangerous implications of such rhetoric, hinting at a disturbing trend towards forced displacement and ethnic cleansing.
The conversation didn’t stop there. Insights into the potential impact of a Trump administration’s policies on Gaza were also dissected, raising questions about the alignment with far-right agendas and the implications for regional stability.

English Script:
Kaitlan Collins: There a real fears on the part of Arabs and I’m sure you talk to a lot of them who think once Gazans leave Gaza, Netanyahu is never going to let them back in.
Kushner: Maybe, but I’m not sure there’s much left of Gaza at this point. Gaza’s waterfront property, it could be very valuable to, if people would focus on kind of building up, you know, livelihoods. You think about all the money that’s gone into this tunnel network and into all the munitions, if that would have gone into education or innovation, what could have been done? And so I think that it’s a little bit of an unfortunate situation there. But I think from Israel’s perspective, I would do my best to move the people out.
Josh Rogin: My initial reaction is sort of shock. I know we shouldn’t be shocked at this point by the sheer sort of callousness and insensitivity of calling it a little unfortunate when 30,000 people have been killed. There’s a terrorist attack that killed hundreds of Israelis. You know, the entire region is in flames. And Jared Kushner’s reaction is, well, you know, it’s a real shame we couldn’t put some condos here, you know. That’s my initial reaction. But if you put that aside, I think what the takeaway here is that, you know what we see is a preview into what a Trump administration, Israel policy would really look like and Jared Kushner said the quiet part out loud that he thinks we should move the people out and clean it up, okay? And if that’s not exactly a call for forced displacement of 2 million Palestinians and ethnic cleansing in Gaza, but it’s pretty close. It’s kind of getting there and that is a really troubling prospect for an American administration. But it also could be sort of a dog whistle to some parts of the Israeli establishment that actually favor that plan.
Kaitlan Collins: Yeah, that is the part that stood out to me as well, where he talked about moving the people out as were his exact words there. And I think what’s the important context here is Donald Trump is someone who often speaks his mind. One thing we have not heard a lot from him about in recent months, since October 7th, is how he’d be handling what is happening inside Gaza right now if he were in the Oval Office. And I wonder what those comments by Jared Kushner or someone who did play a key role inside the White House, what that says to you about what it could look like if Trump was in office amid something like this.
Josh Rogin: Right now, Jared Kushner has said that he doesn’t plan to join a second Trump administration if that’s a thing. Nevertheless, it’s pretty clear that Donald Trump listens to him on these issues. And, you know, I’m old enough to remember the last administration when he did lead these issues and his plan then was pretty much the same. Well, we’ll make a deal. We’ll do some real estate deals and the Palestinians will be happy and we’ll normalize relations. Everything will be hunky-dory. But it didn’t work out because the Palestinians are not just interested in real estate, they’re interested in dignity and sovereignty and autonomy and all of the things that most humans want out of these types of situations. So I think what it says is that the Trump administration, if it follows this pattern, would be one that aligns with the very far right parts of the Netanyahu coalition, who are now not so quietly calling for exactly what Jared just called for, which is the resettlement of Gaza.
