Steven Witkoff, Jared Kushner and their associates have been pushing a plan to ‘nation build’ Gaza, claiming that all Hamas really wants is better housing. (In reality, Hamas had extensive mansions and controlled numerous businesses including hotels and shopping malls.)

“I think we can show Hamas that disarmament is the right thing for long-term peace and for the future. And the Gaza reconstruction plan, under President Trump’s oversight, is an unbelievable plan. Gaza is meant to become an amazing place,” Witkoff claimed.

“In the beginning, we were toying with the idea of saying, let’s build a free zone and then we have a Hamas zone. And then we said, you know what? Let’s just plan for catastrophic success. We, Hamas signed a deal to demilitarize. That is what we are going to enforce,” Kushner argued in his Davos address.
