Jared Kushner BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.

Jared Kushner has made headlines in the past week for quietly reasserting his influence on global affairs and keeping business at full tilt. After remaining out of public view since the start of Trump’s second term, Kushner surfaced at a high-level White House meeting personally chaired by President Trump last Wednesday. According to AOL, Kushner, joined by Tony Blair and other Middle East power brokers, discussed a post-war Gaza roadmap which remains tightly under wraps. Sources close to CNN and Fox News report Kushner is once again a behind-the-scenes adviser for Trump on Arab-Israeli diplomacy—even without an official role. The plan for Gaza’s future, including who governs and rebuilds the strip once Hamas is ousted, is still being negotiated, with Kushner’s longstanding relationships in the region proving central. Such direct involvement marks one of his most potentially significant returns to political relevance since brokering the Abraham Accords.

On the business front, Kushner’s $3 billion private equity fund Affinity Partners continues to grow aggressively, still backed by heavyweights like Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and UAE as Fortune previously reported. His most recent investment was in EGYM, a fitness technology firm that just secured $225 million, with Kushner's fund leading the round, as FitTech Global detailed this week. This move signals ongoing appetite for health and wellness ventures—and reinforces Kushner’s penchant for high-profile, cross-border deals.

In Europe, Kushner’s push into luxury real estate has sparked controversy. Yale Environment 360 and EHN report his plans for extensive resorts along Albania’s last wild river, the Vjosë, could attract up to a million tourists annually. But environmentalists and local groups are mounting legal challenges, warning the developments could devastate the ecosystem and violate international conventions.

On social media, chatter about Kushner’s lavish lifestyle outlasts his political hiatus. OK Magazine notes he and Ivanka were called out for their “especially vain” habits, routinely splurging since leaving official duty. No major new appearances personally, but his father Charles Kushner—recently named U.S. ambassador to France—has made diplomatic waves trading barbed letters with President Macron over antisemitism, as reported in Jewish Journal. The State Department publicly backed Kushner senior, underscoring the family’s continued high-level access and influence.

Speculation about deeper political ambitions or renewed formal roles remains just that—pure conjecture for now, with no confirmed announcements. The current burst of activity, especially around the post-Gaza peace plan, could mark a critical chapter in Kushner’s biography if outcomes become historic. For now, he is back in the game, leveraging old alliances, big money, and quiet power with headline-making potential that’s still unfolding.

Cardiac Cowboys

Cardiac Cowboys

The heart was always off-limits to surgeons. Cutting into it spelled instant death for the patient. That is, until a ragtag group of doctors scattered across the Midwest and Texas decided to throw out the rule book. Working in makeshift laboratories and home garages, using medical devices made from scavenged machine parts and beer tubes, these men and women invented the field of open heart surgery. Odds are, someone you know is alive because of them. So why has history left them behind? Presented by Chris Pine, CARDIAC COWBOYS tells the gripping true story behind the birth of heart surgery, and the young, Greatest Generation doctors who made it happen. For years, they competed and feuded, racing to be the first, the best, and the most prolific. Some appeared on the cover of Time Magazine, operated on kings and advised presidents. Others ended up disgraced, penniless, and convicted of felonies. Together, they ignited a revolution in medicine, and changed the world.
