US Plan for Gaza: Port, Airport, and Hamas Disarmament

Jared Kushner, senior advisor to the US president, presented a plan for the reconstruction of Gaza, which includes the construction of a port and an airport. A key element of the plan is the disarmament of Hamas, with Kushner stating they will cooperate to achieve this goal. The plan envisions the introduction of free market principles in Gaza, similar to those implemented by Trump in the US. Implementation will begin at the Rafah crossing and extend towards Gaza City, with a gradual demilitarization of the area. Hamas members will be amnestied or integrated into the new Palestinian police force, while the Israeli army will withdraw once disarmament is complete. Kushner emphasized that there is no plan B and that the goal is peace between Israelis and Palestinians.
