Jared Kushner and Tony Blair to Lead Gaza Reconstruction Efforts Under Trump's New Middle East Peace Plan

Dec 08, 2025 04:54 pm CST

Former White House adviser Jared Kushner and ex-UK Prime Minister Tony Blair will head Gaza's post-war reconstruction on an executive board reporting to Trump's "board of peace." The plan includes Palestinian technocrats governing daily affairs, but faces significant challenges as Hamas refuses to disarm while Israel demands demilitarization before withdrawal. The initiative also proposes "alternative safe communities" and an international stabilization force to secure the region.
