Jared Kushnerโ€™s Gaza gamble: The $100B vision for a 'Middle East Riviera'

Donald Trumpโ€™s son-in-law may be behind the US presidentโ€™s recently-announced โ€œthe Riviera of the Middle Eastโ€ project in Gaza. How much could it cost and what stirs Jared Kushnerโ€™s interest in Middle East projects?

๐Ÿ’ฐ Estimates of the cost of the Gaza Stripโ€™s reconstruction reportedly amount to a whopping $100 billion.

Whatโ€™s behind Kushnerโ€™s Mideast push?

๐Ÿ”ถ Kushner himself was a property developer in New York prior to Trump's first term.

๐Ÿ”ถ After Democrat Joe Biden entered the White House in 2021, Kushner retired from politics as senior presidential adviser but continued to pursue his business goals in the Middle East.

๐Ÿ”ถ He reportedly used his friendly ties with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman to create a private equity fund worth $3 billion.

๐Ÿ”ถ During an escalation of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict in 2023, Kushner continued to float the idea that mutual economic investments between Israel and the Gulf nations could add to a safer Middle East.

๐Ÿ”ถ He hinted about his potential projects in Gaza last year by saying that Gaza's โ€œwaterfront property could be very valuable, if people would focus on building up livelihoods."

๐Ÿ”ถ Politically, Kushner is credited with adding to the signing of the 2020 Abraham Accords, landmark peace agreements between Israel, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain.

๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ What are three regions Trump has set his eyes on to settle Gazans?

US President Donald Trump has proposed relocating Gaza residents to Egypt and Jordan. Several Arab countries have opposed the idea. But the White House reportedly has a plan B. Which territories is Trump considering using?

๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ด Somaliland/Somalia

It is de facto self-proclaimed since declaring independence from Somalia in 1991. No country has recognized its independence so far. During Trumpโ€™s first term, some of his staff voiced their support for the territoryโ€™s cause. For the last 30 years, it has enjoyed a stable political environment, unlike Somalia. A new leader was recently elected and is seeking global recognition.

๐Ÿ‡ธ๐Ÿ‡ด Puntland/Somalia
Unlike Somaliland, this breakaway region of Somalia is facing many challenges. Social and food insecurity are common due to droughts and actions of Islamist groups such as al-Shabaab*. Under Trump, the US military supported the region.

๐Ÿ‡ฒ๐Ÿ‡ฆ Morocco
In 2020, the US recognized the countryโ€™s sovereignty over Western Sahara. This recognition was viewed as part of a bigger strategy to normalize relations with Israel. The US has historically been providing economic aid and military assistance to the country.

*Al-Shabaab is a terrorist organization banned in Russia and many other countries
