Kushner Praises Gaza's "Valuable" Waterfront Property, Says Israel Should Force Palestinians Out
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Trump's son-in-law and former adviser Jared Kushner has weighed in on
Israel's war on Gaza, saying that Israel should move Palestinians out of
the besieged territory, which he said contains very valuable waterfront
property. Kushner made the remarks during a recent event hosted by the
Middle East Initiative at Harvard Kennedy School.

Jared Kushner: "And 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 and then
clean it up. But I don't think that Israel has stated that they don't
want the people to move back there afterwards."
