Senior White House adviser Jared Kushner presented a new vision for Gaza at the Board of Peace signing ceremony, outlining a plan centered on demilitarization, reconstruction, and economic development — including amnesty for Hamas fighters who surrender their weapons.
Kushner said the next phase would be to “work with Hamas on demilitarization,” while pushing to bring “free market economy principles to Gaza, reflecting the “same mindset, same approach” that US President Donald Trump is implementing in the US.
He unveiled a master plan that includes building a seaport and an airport, starting in Rafah and moving north in phases until Gaza City, stressing that there “is no plan B.”
On security, Kushner said Hamas’s “heavy weapons” would be decommissioned immediately, while small arms would be collected sector by sector by a new Palestinian police force. Reconstruction would only begin in areas with full disarmament.
Under the proposal, Hamas members would be “rewarded with amnesty and reintegration, or safe passage” if they turn in their weapons. Some terrorists could be “integrated” into the new Palestinian police after “rigorous vetting.”
Once demilitarization is verified, the IDF would withdraw to a security perimeter around Gaza.
Kushner said the next 100 days would focus on humanitarian aid and reconstruction, and announced an upcoming Gaza investment conference in Washington.
He urged critics to “calm down for 30 days” regarding Israel, Turkey, and Qatar, adding: “Our goal here is peace between Israel and the Palestinian people. Everyone wants to live peacefully. Everyone wants to live with dignity.”
US special envoy Steve Witkoff also spoke, thanking Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Ron Dermer, and Michael Eisenberg, as well as Qatari, Turkish, and Egyptian mediators.

The soldiers of the IDF died (and were wounded) for nothing. Hamas will survive to fight another day. Bibi’s promise of total victory and elimination of Hamas turns out to be the joke we knew it was. The people of Israel have been betrayed.
“reflecting the “same mindset, same approach” that US President Donald Trump is implementing in the US”
The only problem with that is that Gazans are about as similar to Americans as Al Qaeda are to Disneyland vacationers
So the premise that the “same mindset, same approach” as in the US will work in Gaza is ridiculously false before it has even started
Umm, you haven’t kept to your word so far. Multiple ceasefire violations with soldiers being attacked, injured and murdered. One hostage still in Gaza, your own US intelligence says they know where he is. So what is holding up his return? Yet you keep plowing on.
Some terrorists could be “integrated” into the new Palestinian police after “rigorous vetting.”
Wow, this has got to be the most amazing part. How in heavens name do you “vet” a terrorist to be part of a new “police” force to govern a “new” and “peaceful” Gaza????? Curious on criteria used for such “vetting”. A terrorist stays a terrorist, until the US gets this through their thick skulls, there will never be real peace.
