Ivanka Trump returns to Israel, returning to the spotlight on ceasefire day
After Donald Trump's victory in 2024, Ivanka Trump had announced his retirement from the policy.
"I want to dedicate myself to my children," she had said then. But that promise was short-lived. Today, in Tel Aviv, she returned to her father's side on the day of the hostages' release, following the historic ceasefire agreement between Israel and Hamas, mediated by the United States.
Alongside her were her husband Jared Kushner and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in a meeting of strong symbolic value. Wearing a white dress, Ivanka welcomed the president as he disembarked from Air Force One and then participated in the demonstration in Hostages Square. "We honor the strength of every family that waits, prays, and believes," she declared to the crowd, according to a report by The Jerusalem PostHe added that the return of the hostages represents "a triumph of faith, courage, and our shared humanity."
His words were greeted with prolonged applause and chants of "Thank you, Trump." This image marked his return to the public stage after a period away from the spotlight.
Ivanka Trump in Israel and Jared Kushner's role behind the ceasefire agreement
Behind the diplomatic turnaround, Jared Kushner's hand is moving. Secondo Haaretz e PoliticoThe former presidential adviser is said to have played a key role in drafting the 20-point plan for Gaza, presented by Donald Trump in recent weeks. This document laid the foundation for negotiations and the end of Israeli military operations.
Kushner, now an entrepreneur and real estate investor, is also the creator of the so-called “Middle East Riviera”, a reconstruction project of the Strip under American administration, known as “GREAT Trust” (Gaza Replenishment, Economic Acceleration and Transformation Trust). The stated goal is to promote the economic rebirth of the region.
But some of his words, reported by The Guardian In 2024, they sparked controversy: "Waterfront properties in Gaza could be highly valuable if people focused on improving their living conditions." Many analysts interpreted this view as overly economical, in a context where the issue remains primarily political and humanitarian.
From Indian Creek, the billionaires' residence north of Miami, Kushner reportedly followed the negotiations and Hamas's initial openness to the American proposal. This signal confirms that, despite their apparent withdrawal, Ivanka Trump and Jared have returned to occupy a central role in international diplomacy, in this case psychological in Israel, linked to the Trump White House.
