Comments of the US President Donald Trump 4. February about Gaza refreshed the idea that he had previously promoted him and his son-in-law Jared Kushner.
His plan positions the gauze in terms of real estate potential, not its humanitarian or political situations. After saying that the US “took the belt of Gaza” and “possessed by Donald Trump,” We have the opportunity to do something that could be awesome. I don’t want to be a smart. But ‘Riviera close East ‘, this could be something that could be so … this could be so magnificent. “
Now everyone is slowly recalling the idea that Kushner put in the Harvard University in February 2024, when he said real estate on the banks could be “very valuable if people would focus on building better living conditions.” He added that, from the Israeli perspective, he did everything to “move people and then clean the area,” DW is written.
Trump has then further stressed his attitude, even suggesting that Palestinians would not be allowed to return to Gaza, “because he will have a much better accommodation,” he said for Fox News 10. February. All this is just a reminder that for Trump and his family is the Middle East as a business interest as anything else in the world.
What are Trump’s business interests in the Middle East?
The region became an increasingly important focus for the Trump Organization, a real estate conglomerate and catering currently run by Trump’s sons and Donald Junior. In recent years, several agreements have been made with the Saudi Real Estate Company Dar Global, an international branch of the Saudi Dar al Arkan Real Estate Development Company.
In Oman, the Luxury Hotel and Golf Resort with Trump Brand, while the Trump Organization and Dar Global announce plans for two projects Trump Tower, one in Jeddish in Saudi Arabia and one in Dubai in the United Arab Emirates. One earlier project Trump Tower in Dubai, who was supposed to involve the hotel and apartments, was announced in October 2005, but was canceled in 2011. Due to the global financial crisis.
Trump already owns one Golf Club in Dubai, opened in 2017. years. This club was built in partnership with the breathtaking gear, Husain Seawan. In January 2025, Sajwani appeared with Trump at the press conference, where he was announced that the gadget would invest “least” $ 20 billion (19.39 billion) for the construction of new data centers across the United States.
New agreements in Oman, Jedi and Dubai will enable the Trump Organization to design, manage and brand tornes and luxury resort. These jobs are primarily related to branding, not owned, bringing the millions of dollars in exchange for the use of their name.
Trump and members of his family, from Kushner to his sons, were repeatedly talking about the growing importance of the Middle East for their business interests. Just before the agreement on Jedi was published, Eric Trump told the Financial Times, “We will definitely do other projects in this region. This region experiences explosive growth, and that will not stop soon.”
What about Saudi Arabia?
Saudi Arabia, a key American ally in the Middle East, is becoming increasingly important for Trump’s family interests in the region.
In addition to projects with a gift Global, The Trump Organization also closely cooperates with Liv Golf, one of the most recent and controversial sports investments of Saudi Arabia. The Trump Organization owns numerous golf courses around the world and has received payments from LIV to maintain several tournaments in their sites in the USA.
Meanwhile, Kushner’s Private Investment Company Affinity Partners, which is separated from The Trump Organization, has established close ties with Saudi Arabia and its state investment fund, known as Public Investment Fund (PIF).
The PIF, chaired by the Saudi Caston and de facto ruler Mohamed Bin Salman, invested $ 2 billion in Affinity. Several other large investors from the bay also invested money in Kushner project, including the Qatar investment fund and the Manager’s asset manager based in Abu Dhabi.
Kushner also has significant investments in Israel, especially in the insurance company Phoenix Holdings and the SHLOMO GROUP group.
Is there a conflict of interest in Trump?
Wide business interests have led to criticism to make more conflicts of interest in resolving issues in the region for Trump.
Although Donald Trump renounced all the management roles in their jobs when he was first elected president in 2016, his family remained present in his political activities and campaigns, despite their permanent business engagements.
Kushner, meanwhile, took advantage of the contacts he had acquired during his previous role of advisor in the first Trump administration to build his investment portfolio in the Middle East. This caused criticism, especially for his close relations with the Saudi Royal family.
However, he defended in early 2024. in an interview for the American Portal Axios, saying you about the job we worked in the White House, my critics I would say to the decision we brought, which was not in the interest of America .
Does Trump Gaza watch as a potential real estate project?
Both Trump and Kushner are obviously interested in the development of Gaza as a real nationality project, not as a home for more than 2 million Palestinians who currently live.
“The world nation will live there,” Trump said. “Turn it into an international, amazing place. The potential in the Gaza belt is amazing,” said the American president in his style.
The Trump Plan caused a furious reaction of Palestinians and the rapid condemnation of a large number of governments around the world. German Chancellor Olaf Scholz Trump’s statements regarding Gaza called the scandal. There are also serious doubts in his feasibility to multiple levels.
However, given the growing business interests The Trump Organization in the Middle East and a clear statement of Trump and Kushner, seems to be, as it seems, very serious about their idea of the “edge of the Middle East.
