Jared Kushner, a key figure in brokering the Gaza ceasefire, announced that reconstruction funds will not be allocated to areas still under Hamas control. Speaking at a press conference with US Vice President JD Vance, Kushner emphasized that discussions are ongoing about how to begin rebuilding in regions currently held by the Israeli military, which now controls over half of Gaza.
Kushner outlined a vision for a 'new Gaza,' aiming to provide Palestinians with opportunities for employment and improved living conditions. He reiterated that international support for reconstruction will be contingent on the absence of Hamas control in affected areas.
