Kushner Denials: Genocide 'Absolutely Not,' Says Architect of West Bank Deals
Jared Kushner, the former Trump advisor and architect of the Abraham Accords, along with real estate executive Scott Rechler, confidently told The Hill that claims of genocide in Gaza are 'absolutely not' true. This comes, according to The Guardian (10/24/2023), after Kushner openly mused about the 'value' of Gaza's 'waterfront property,' suggesting the current conflict could pave the way for a
'resort-like' environment for the Palestinians. One might wonder if 'absolutely not' is the official denial for anyone eyeing beachfront reconstruction contracts while over 37,000 Palestinians, primarily women and children, have been killed since October 7, 2023, according to the Hamas-run Gaza Health Ministry (as reported by the UN via Reuters, 06/10/2024). It appears the distinction between
criticizing government policy and securing lucrative development deals is lost on those who see human suffering as an economic opportunity.
