Jared Kushner on Thursday unveiled a sweeping U.S.-backed vision at Davos to rebuild the war-torn Gaza Strip into a “New Gaza” economic hub by 2035, outlining a phased redevelopment plan centered on infrastructure, investment, and employment — contingent on Hamas demilitarization and the surrender of its weapons.
Speaking at the signing ceremony for President Donald Trump’s newly launched Board of Peace on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, Kushner — a senior White House adviser and the president’s son-in-law — laid out a phased “master plan” beginning in Rafah, a city on Gaza’s southern border, before moving northward in stages toward Gaza City.
Kushner said the administration deliberately chose to plan for what he described as “catastrophic success,” rejecting incremental or fallback approaches to Gaza’s future and insisting that the framework moving forward is singular and fixed.
Looking ahead, Kushner said the top priority of the plan is security, warning that without it reconstruction cannot begin. “Without security, nobody’s going to make investments,” he said, describing parallel efforts with Israel focused on de-escalation and with Hamas centered on demilitarization.
Kushner framed the initiative as a deliberate break from Gaza’s decades-long dependence on outside assistance, noting that for much of that time the territory’s economy has been overwhelmingly sustained by foreign aid — a reality he argued has left residents without “dignity” or “hope.” The administration, he said, wants to reverse that model by applying free-market economic principles to Gaza, using the same mindset and approach President Trump is implementing in the United States.
