Kushner and Hamas

Jared Kushner, Trumps son-in-law, is trying a businessman's approach to dealing with the problems in Palestine. He is getting rich countries in the Middle East to come up with money in the form of grants and low interest loans to help rebuild Gaza and the West Bank. The emphasis will be on minimizing the graft and corruption associated with past aid packages. The money will be used for infrastructure programs like improving the power supply which has been sorely lacking along with schools and a highway between Gaza and the West Bank. In the past the US has given billions to Palestine but most of the money was used to purchase weapons to be used against Israel and of course to fill the pockets of Hamas leaders. This new approach may not work since Hamas may still find a way to skim but it is a new way of approaching and old problem.
