US President Donald Trump’s proposal to take over Gaza and displace Palestinians elsewhere brings to mind an earlier suggestion by his son-in-law Jared Kushner about the potential value of “waterfront property” in the enclave. Kushner, a former aide to Trump, suggested last year that Israel should remove Palestinians out of Gaza while it “cleans up” the area. “The thing that I would try to do if I was Israel right now is I would just bulldoze something in the Negev. I would try to move people in there. (…) So you can go in and finish the job,” he said in an interview with the Middle East Initiative, a programme of Harvard University’s Kennedy School of Government.
