"Yesterday exposed Jared's starring role in not one but two current deals. 1. History's biggest-ever leveraged buyout, of video game giant Electronic Arts (EA), which Kushner's firm is taking private and effectively into Saudi ownership. And 2. Eternal peace in the Middle East, as per what has been widely referred to as the Kushner-Blair plan for Gaza. Busy week for Jared! He's popping up at so many seismic moments just call him Forrest Trump."
"And so: Jared's manic Monday. It feels like we should address his now-activated plan for ending the horrendous war on Gaza first, before we do the gaming mega-deal. Unfortunately, the timeline of the Kushner calendar had things in a different order. It was video games/Saudi laundering first, then Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu coming over to the White House later to explain how incredibly keen he was to sign up to a plan to stop doing the things he's very remorselessly doing."
"Quick refresher on our boy: he is married to Donald Trump's daughter Ivanka, and previously served as a senior adviser in his father-in-law's first administration, taking the opportunity of Trump's election loss/unfortunate insurrection-fostering to seemingly leave frontline politics and start his own investment firm. And contrary to popular conjecture that he would be a pariah after that period, Jared sails unstoppably on."
Jared Kushner is simultaneously central to a $55 billion leveraged buyout that will take Electronic Arts private with Saudi-backed investment and to a proposed Kushner-Blair plan aimed at ending the Gaza war. Kushner is married to Ivanka Trump and formerly served as a senior adviser in the Trump administration before founding an investment firm. The EA transaction involves major franchises including EA FC and Madden NFL and has been described as effectively transferring ownership to Saudi interests. Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu visited the White House to express support for the Gaza plan despite ongoing military actions. Kushner's public image appears detached yet omnipresent.
