Jared Kushner on Gaza’s reconstruction:

The area would be developed into zones. At the beginning, we considered the idea of starting with a free zone, alongside a Hamas-controlled zone. But then we said: why not plan for success — real success.

Hamas signed an agreement to demilitarize, and that is what we intend to enforce. People keep asking what our Plan B is. There is no Plan B. We have a plan. We signed an agreement, and everyone involved is committed to making it work.

There is a master plan, and it will be implemented in phases across the Middle East. Cities of two or three million people are being built in the region within three years. Projects like this are entirely achievable — if we make them happen.

Jared Kushner on Gaza’s reconstruction:

New Gaza could become a place of hope — even a destination — with strong industry and real opportunities for people to thrive and find meaningful employment.

Once this process is underway, we believe it can lead to full employment and opportunity for everyone living there.

Jared Kushner on Gaza’s reconstruction:

We now have a new government in Gaza. This government will work with Hamas on demilitarization to ensure that the principles agreed upon in the document for the next phase are fully implemented. We hope this effort will succeed — because without demilitarization, reconstruction is impossible.

If Hamas does not demilitarize, that will be what holds Gaza back and prevents its people from achieving their aspirations. This point is critical.

Over the next 100 days, we will remain fully focused and heads-down on making sure this process moves forward successfully.

Trump on Gaza:

Everything begins with location. You see, I’m a real estate person at heart. It’s all about location.

And I said: look at this location by the sea. Look at this beautiful piece of property — what it could become for so many people. It’s going to be incredible.

People who are living so poorly will be living so well.

Jared Kushner on Gaza:

I see many people trying to escalate — criticizing Israel, or Israelis criticizing Türkiye or Qatar. I would say: just calm down for 30 days.

I believe the war is over. Let’s give this a chance and do our best to move forward.

If we believe that peace is possible, then peace can be possible.

Turkish President Erdogan:

I am addressing our entire business community:

Do not fall into despair or anxiety when you look at the events taking place in our region and around the world.

Rising trade wars, increasing uncertainties, and crises breaking out one after another every day should not lead you to hopelessness.

Turkish President Erdogan:

With the permission of God, Türkiye will overcome this difficult period.

In fact, Türkiye will be among the countries that emerge most successful and profitable from this process.

In the reshaped world order, God willing, our Türkiye will be one of the leading poles of power.

Turkish President Erdogan:

The world is moving in the direction we have long pointed to.

Today, the validity of the criticisms we have made for years regarding global politics is becoming clear.

Turkish President Erdogan on Davos:

Those who relentlessly attacked us for years because we boldly spoke the truth are now, as you can see, using the very same language we once did—talking about global injustices and the flaws of the global system.

The logo of the “Board of Peace” seems to be America-centric.

Finnish President Stubb:

What the United States was able to do in Venezuela in 12 hours in an operation is what the Russian military wanted to do in Ukraine, with total failure.

Don’t buy into this narrative that Russia is somehow winning this war.

Finnish President Stubb:

In December, 34,000 Russian soldiers died. Dead soldiers.

For what? For claiming that you took Kupiansk when you didn’t?

Finnish President Stubb:

People are saying that Russia wants to continue the war because they want more territory. That is rubbish.

Russia has to continue the war because this war is too big for Putin to fail.

Finnish President Stubb:

Have faith, Ukraine is going to win this war.

NEW: The meeting between Zelensky and Trump has begun.

Q: Is it a problem that Trump often returns to the view that Zelensky is the blockage, not Putin?

Rutte: I don’t think that’s fair, because he has been very critical of Putin in many interviews.

I think he wants this done. He wants to end a meat grinder and I’m with him on this.

U.S. Envoy on Syria Tom Barrack:

We were honored to meet with Mazloum Abdi and Ilham Ahmed.

The United States and all parties reaffirmed their commitment to advancing the January 18 integration agreement and agreed that fully upholding the ceasefire is the essential first step toward confidence-building and lasting stability.

Trump on his Greenland deal:

Essentially, it’s total access. There’s no end — there’s no time limit...

We're going to have all military access that we want... We’re going to not have to pay anything, other than the fact that we are building the Golden Dome.

Trump on NATO:

We have never needed them. We have never asked anything of them.

You know they say they sent troops to Afghanistan, and they did.

They stayed a little back, little off the frontlines.
