Kushner Briefs EU on 'Peace Plan,' Forgetting Who Declared War
Al-Monitor reports that former Trump son-in-law Jared Kushner and U.S. envoy Steve Witkoff held a video conference with EU foreign ministers to discuss a 'peace plan' for Gaza. This is the same Kushner whose family business, Kushner Properties, has deep ties to Israeli settlements, and who, just last month, remarked on Gaza's "very valuable" waterfront property, suggesting moving Palestinians out
for development. The EU, seemingly eager for advice from someone whose only qualification is familial proximity to power, appears to be taking this seriously. One might wonder if their briefings include a flow chart for turning refugee camps into luxury condos. This performance, straight from the playbooks of opportunistic profiteering, conveniently sidesteps the trifling detail that a full-scale
assault on Gaza, backed by US weaponry and diplomatic cover, is currently underway. To present a 'peace plan' while the bombs fall, without acknowledging the ongoing catastrophe, is not diplomacy; it's a grotesque pantomime that normalizes the systematic erasure of a population. Perhaps the next brief will explain how to market beachfront properties where hospitals once stood.
