据CNN周四报道,贾里德·库什纳(Jared Kushner)的私募股权公司Affinity Partners是以色列一家金融集团的最大股东,该集团投资于为以色列军队提供装备的公司——而库什纳当时正担任美国在加沙地带问题的关键谈判代表。
Jared Kushner's private equity firm, Affinity Partners, is the largest shareholder in an Israeli financial group that invests in companies supplying Israel's military, even as he served as a key US negotiator on the Gaza Strip, CNN reported Thursday.
2025年1月,Affinity Partners将其在总部位于特拉维夫的Phoenix Financial公司的持股增加了一倍,成为该公司最大的股东。据报道,库什纳后来将Phoenix Financial称为Affinity Partners“最成功的投资”。
Affinity Partners doubled its stake in Tel Aviv-based Phoenix Financial in January 2025, shortly before Trump’s inauguration, becoming the company’s largest shareholder. Kushner later described Phoenix as Affinity’s “best investment,” according to the report.
Phoenix Financial至少向9家与以色列军事相关的公司投资了4.56亿美元,其中2.651亿美元投资给了以色列最大的武器制造商Elbit Systems。
Phoenix Financial has invested at least $456 million in nine military-linked companies involved in Israel's war machine, including $265.1 million in Elbit Systems, Israel's largest arms manufacturer, it reported.
该报道还指出,Affinity Partners完全由库什纳个人拥有;今年7月,该公司出售了其在Phoenix Financial公司25%的股份,获利超过3.4亿美元,这一收益是其初始投资额的五倍以上;目前该公司仍持有价值超过10亿美元的股份。
Affinity Partners, owned solely by Kushner, sold a quarter of its Phoenix stake in July for more than $340 million, more than five times its initial stock purchase, and still holds a stake worth more than $1 billion, it added.
库什纳在担任美国在加沙地带问题的谈判代表期间,并未担任任何政府正式职务,只是以志愿顾问的身份为特朗普提供咨询。作为志愿顾问,库什纳无需公开自己的财务状况。
Kushner has served as a key US negotiator on Gaza while maintaining no formal government position, working as a volunteer adviser to Trump. As a volunteer envoy, Kushner is not required to disclose his finances.
库什纳的律师告诉CNN,他从未参与过Phoenix Financial的投资决策,也不对该公司在上述9家公司的持股情况有任何影响。
Kushner's attorney told CNN that he never directed Phoenix's investment decisions and had no role in its holdings in the nine companies.
白宫发言人安娜·凯利(Anna Kelly)表示,库什纳的“个人商业活动与其外交职责无关;他的外交工作是应总统要求自愿进行的”。CNN调查后发现,库什纳的外交行动并未对其投资决策产生任何直接影响。
White House spokeswoman Anna Kelly said Kushner's "personal business activities have nothing to do with his diplomatic engagements, which he conducts on a volunteer basis at the president’s request." CNN said it found no indication that Kushner's diplomatic actions directly affected the investments it reviewed.
2023年10月,以色列军队对加沙地带发动了种族灭绝式的战争,导致超过7.4万人死亡、17.5万人受伤,并造成了大规模破坏。
The Israeli army launched a genocidal war on Gaza in October 2023, killing more than 74,000 people, injuring over 175,000 and causing massive destruction.
2025年10月达成了停火协议,但以色列仍继续发动袭击,并维持对食品、药品和庇护物资进入加沙的限制。加沙几乎全部人口都面临极其严峻的人道主义处境。
A ceasefire agreement was reached in October 2025, though Israel continued its attacks and maintained restrictions on the entry of food, medicine and shelter materials into Gaza, where almost the entire population faces dire humanitarian conditions.
