Kushner, Witkoff See Gaza Rubble, Reject 'Genocide' Label
According to Axios, Kushner and Witkoff, discussing their roles in brokering a Gaza ceasefire deal, toured an area Kushner said 'looked almost like a nuclear bomb had been set off.' Yet, confronted with allegations of genocide, Witkoff's response was a clear 'Absolutely not.' A curious denial for a landscape described in such apocalyptic terms, especially when one considers the Israeli military's
admitted use of 'hundreds of tons of explosives' on Gaza. Critics might wonder if the approximately 35,000 dead Palestinians and the destruction of most of Gaza's infrastructure constitute a 'war being fought' or something rather more systematic. Kushner also addressed his family's opaque financial dealings with Gulf states, suggesting his volunteer role in these peace efforts was driven purely by
beneficence. One might observe that the blurring of lines between personal financial gain and public diplomacy is a recurring theme for this administration, often raising questions about whose interests are truly being served. After all, it's easier to dismiss 'perception' when the 'facts' might just be bad for business.
