# Shlomo Group **Shlomo Group** is an Israeli defense conglomerate. It is one of the holdings of **[[Jared Kushner]]**'s private-equity firm **[[Affinity Partners]]**, which is capitalized chiefly by Middle Eastern sovereign-wealth funds (Saudi, Qatari, and Emirati). ## Why It Matters Kushner's stake in an Israeli defense conglomerate is a node in the "follow the money" reading of [[Iran War 2026]]: Kushner — who holds **no formal White House position** but whom Trump has acknowledged advised him that Iran was an imminent threat — has a financial interest in Israeli defense firms whose value rises when Israel and the U.S. go to war with Iran. The investment, alongside [[Affinity Partners]]' stake in [[Phoenix Holdings]] and its Gaza data-center work, ties Kushner's personal portfolio to the elimination of Iran as a regional threat. ## See Also - [[Jared Kushner]] - [[Affinity Partners]] - [[Phoenix Holdings]] - [[Trump Family Iran War Profiteering]] - [[Iran War 2026]] *Stub — to be expanded.*
