Kushner ‘Very Confident’ Trump's Mideast Peace Deals Make Resolution With Palestinians ‘More Likely
White House senior adviser Jared Kushner said on Wednesday that he is "very confident" the recent Middle East peace agreements brokered by President Trump between Israel and the United Arab Emirates and Israel and Bahrain will make an ultimate resolution with Palestine "more likely."
"The moves yesterday were the first peace breakthroughs in the Middle East in 26 years," Kushner told "Outnumbered Overtime." "I am very confident that that will make it more likely that there will be a resolution with the Palestinians in a fair way at a time people are ready to make peace.”
Kushner outlined how historical negotiations in the Middle East have failed because "the incentives have been all wrong" but noted that President Trump has taken a different approach to achieve these recent breakthroughs.
"President Trump’s strategy has been to not do stupid things, not keep old habits that don’t work, and, what he has done is he is actually the first president to outline a realistic vision for what a peace agreement could look like between the Israelis and the Palestinians,” Kushner said, citing details from the president's 180-page proposal on the issue. -Full Report
