Jared Kushner, Tony Blair reportedly to join Trump meet on Gaza’s future
2025-08-28
Two new names enter the mix.
[IsraelTimes] US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, a senior adviser on the Middle East in his first term, is participating in the president’s meeting on the future of Gaza today, according to Axios, which cites “two sources with knowledge.”

Kushner and former British prime minister Tony Blair, who has been involved in Middle East initiatives since he left office in 2007, are presenting Trump with post-war proposals, according to the report.

Blair has been discussing plans for Gaza’s future with Kushner and US special envoy Steve Witkoff for months, reports Axios.

The two are expected to discuss approaches to governing Gaza without Hamas, and how to increase the amount of aid going into the Strip in the meantime.

According to a US official quoted by the outlet, Trump has told staffers regarding Gaza that “I can’t watch it anymore. It’s a terrible thing.”

Trump does not oppose the emerging Israeli military operation in Gaza City, a US official tells Axios, but wants it done quickly.

“At some level, the president thinks that Bibi’s going to do what Bibi’s going to do,” says the official, referring to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. “So would you just hurry up and then we can get in there and take care of people?”
