It appears to be a classic case of great minds thinking alike.

Nearly a year before President Donald Trump suggested taking over the war-torn Gaza Strip and turning it into a resort on Tuesday, his developer son-in-law said the Hamas haunt could be turned into a Middle Eastern resort.

“I’m sitting in Miami Beach right now,” Kushner said. “And I’m looking at the situation, and I’m thinking: What would I do if I was there?”

He suggested that those left in Gaza could be moved out, just as Trump said Tuesday night. After that, the area could be rebuilt.

“It’s a little bit of an unfortunate situation there, but from Israel’s perspective, I would do my best to move the people out and then clean it up,” Kushner said.

His comments came in a February 2024 interview with Harvard Middle East Initiative Faculty Chairman Tarek Masoud.

The remarks are popping up again after Trump said he would like the United States to take the lead in rebuilding Gaza after over a year of war in which Israeli forces destroyed much of the area in hunting down the Hamas terrorists who slaughtered hundreds in the Oct. 7, 2023, attack in Israel, the biggest slaughter of Israelis since the Holocaust.

At a White House press conference on Tuesday with visiting Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump presented a resort-like road map and suggested it could be “the Riviera of the Middle East” for all.

“I do see a long-term ownership position,” Trump said when asked if he envisioned a permanent U.S. occupation of Gaza.

At the Harvard event, Kushner said, “Gaza’s waterfront property could be very valuable … if people would focus on building up livelihoods.”

Afterward, he hit his critics who focused on his waterfront comments instead of his longer discussion of the crisis.

Kushner, married to Trump’s daughter Ivanka, is not involved in his father-in-law’s administration. But in the first Trump administration, he worked inside the White House, touched most of every policy, and led Trump’s push for peace in the Middle East that eventually led to the Abraham Accords, which were individual peace deals between Arab nations and Israel.
