Jared Kushner's remarks that the United States is working on political issues in Israel have effectively handed control of Gaza back to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to analyst Adel Shidid, Shehab Wire reported. Shidid characterized Kushner's statement, made against the backdrop of Israeli elections, as a reversal that eliminates any near-term prospect for a ceasefire or reconstruction efforts in the territory.
The analyst said the timing and framing of Kushner's comments signal reduced international pressure on Netanyahu regarding Gaza policy. By emphasizing that electoral considerations shape U.S. priorities in Israel, Shidid argued, the statement effectively removes Gaza from the immediate diplomatic agenda and leaves decision-making solely to the Israeli government.
