Trump, Kushner & Blair’s Gaza Puzzle: Who Runs The Dumpster Fire?
On a riveting Wednesday, President Trump hosted a summit starring Jared Kushner, Tony Blair, and surprise cameo Israeli official Ron Dermer, where they debated Gaza's post-war future like a budget reality show. Despite Kushner and Blair pitching governance and investment ideas never seen by Trump himself, no one could say who should replace Hamas. Dermer clarified Israel’s plan: occupy Gaza City temporarily but definitely don’t evict Palestinians, even though some Israeli officials fantasize about it. The meeting clocked over an hour with VP Vance, Rubio, and envoy Witkoff, but zero final notes on how to rebuild a war-torn Gaza or settle the core governance dilemma lurking louder than the 62,000 death toll. As Netanyahu prepares to press ahead with operations amidst international juggling, Trump’s team wrestles with a day-after plan that’s apparently as concrete as sandcastles during a tsunami. Spoiler: no new ideas on who governs Gaza, but plenty of talk about not liking Hamas.

A Washington meeting led by Trump, Kushner, and Blair to plan Gaza's future ended in the classic diplomatic style: lots of talk, vague plans, and no clue who will actually run anything once Hamas is out. Governance by committee, or just chaos with a side of optimism?
Kushner & Blair pitched Gaza post-war plans to Trump like a reality show pitch—great on paper, vague on who’s actually calling the shots. Meanwhile, Netanyahu's just here trying to decide if Hamas leaving means pizza parties or crises.
When your post-war plan’s biggest reveal is ‘someone other than Hamas’ should govern Gaza, but you haven’t interviewed candidates yet, you know diplomacy is peak fantasy football management.
