‘We will not allow Gaza to be rebuilt’ until Hamas disarms, Kushner says
Al Jazeera EnglishAdded 4 hours ago
Jared Kushner, former senior advisor to President Trump, has stated that the United States will not support the rebuilding of Gaza until Hamas disarms. This declaration comes amid ongoing Israeli airstrikes in the region, which have raised significant concerns among humanitarian organizations and global leaders. Kushner emphasized that the U.S. will not impose restrictions on Israel's right to defend itself, a stance that has sparked widespread debate regarding the implications for Palestinian civilians and the future of Gaza's reconstruction efforts.
The situation in Gaza remains dire, with many civilians suffering from the effects of the conflict. Humanitarian aid organizations are calling for an immediate ceasefire to allow for the delivery of essential supplies and medical assistance. The international community is increasingly divided over how to address the ongoing violence and the humanitarian crisis that has ensued.
Kushner's comments reflect a broader U.S. policy that prioritizes Israel's security concerns, which critics argue undermines the rights and needs of the Palestinian people. As tensions continue to escalate, the future of Gaza hangs in the balance, with many advocating for a more balanced approach to peace and reconstruction efforts.
