Introduction
Jared Kushner, former senior adviser to President Donald Trump, discusses his role in conducting negotiations with world leaders and achieving results in trade, criminal justice reform, and progress towards peace in the Middle East.
Hamas attack on Israel
Hamas attack on Israel:
- Hamas launched a rocket attack on Israel, followed by an infiltration of over 1,000 militants into Israeli territory.
- Israel responded with airstrikes in Gaza and ground operations to clear out Hamas militants.
- The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) ordered civilian residents of Gaza to evacuate for safety.
- The death toll is over 1,200 people, with over 130 hostages taken by Hamas.
- Israel and Egypt have imposed a blockade on Gaza since 2007 when Hamas took power.
- Hamas is a Palestinian militant group seeking the destruction of Israel, designated as a terrorist group by the US, EU, UK, and Israel.
Response to attack
The current situation in Israel and Gaza is described as heartbreaking, with acts of violence and terrorism on a scale not seen since 9/11. Jared Kushner expresses sympathy for the victims' families and praises the unity of the Israeli nation. He calls for the world to stand behind Israel and emphasizes the need to eliminate or severely degrade Hamas's capabilities for peace in the region.

History of Hamas
Hamas, originally founded by the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, has been a source of conflict in the region and has attacked Israel multiple times. In 2005, Israel withdrew from Gaza and gave governance to the Palestinians, but the lives of the Palestinian people have worsened under Hamas's leadership. The Palestinian people in Gaza are essentially hostages, with Hamas terrorists holding them back from a better life. Hamas has consistently used resources for destructive purposes, making it difficult to provide aid to the people of Gaza. The focus should be on holding Hamas accountable for their actions and supporting the Palestinian people.
Key points:
- Hamas was founded by the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt.
- Hamas has attacked Israel multiple times, causing conflict in the region.
- After Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005, Hamas took over governance, but the lives of the Palestinian people worsened.
- The Palestinian people in Gaza are essentially hostages under Hamas's leadership.
- Hamas has used resources for destructive purposes, hindering aid to the people of Gaza.
- It is important to hold Hamas accountable for their actions and support the Palestinian people.
Iran
The connection between Hamas and Iran is explored in this video. Iran is reported to be behind a recent attack, and Hamas has expressed gratitude for Iran's support. Iran funds Hezbollah, Hamas, and the Houthis, and supports the destruction of Israel. Hamas serves as a proxy for Iran in their shared goal of preventing peace between Israel and Saudi Arabia.
Al-Aqsa Mosque
The Al-Aqsa Mosque, located in the Haram Al-Sharif in Israel, is a holy place in Islam built over a significant Jewish site. While Shia jihadists claim it justifies their aggressive actions, Jared Kushner found that the main concern in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is perceived restriction of Muslim access to the mosque. Israel allows peaceful access, but security issues may arise during provocations. Israel regained control of Jerusalem in 1967 and has since allowed people to pray at the mosque. Israel passed a law protecting holy places, including Al-Aqsa Mosque, and acknowledges the mosque's custodianship by the King of Jordan. Propaganda from groups like ISIS and Iran exploit the issue of access to recruit terrorists. Israel needs to improve public relations to counter this. The Abraham Accords and normalization of relations between Israel and Arab countries are positive steps towards peace. The mosque holds historical significance, and combating misinformation is crucial. Haj Amin Al Husseini spread anti-Semitism and violence in the 1920s, but Islam is a peaceful religion, and using it to justify violence disrespects its true essence.
Abraham Accords
The Abraham Accords, achieved through a paradigm shift in the Middle East, facilitated by President Trump, strengthened the relationship with Israel and challenged long-standing barriers. This created a forum for voices of peace and unity, while limiting Iran's resources. Jared Kushner worked on a political framework between Israel and Palestine, focusing on resolving land disputes, security concerns, and religious site issues. He developed a business plan for Gaza and the West Bank to incentivize change, which received support from Arab countries and the international community. However, the lack of governance and rule of law, particularly due to Hamas, remains an obstacle. Jared Kushner emphasizes the need for demilitarization and security guarantees from a credible source in Gaza.
Trump vs Biden on Middle East
The Biden Administration has taken a different approach in the Middle East compared to the Trump Administration. Under Trump, there was momentum and stability in the region, with crippling sanctions on Iran and a halt in funding to corrupt organizations like UNRWA. However, the Biden Administration has focused on other priorities like COVID, climate change, and China, which has led to a decrease in stability. They have insulted Saudi Arabia and Russia, leading to increased oil prices, stopped domestic oil production, and eased sanctions on Iran. They have also resumed funding to the Palestinians without any conditions.
- Trump Administration brought momentum and stability to the Middle East with sanctions on Iran and a halt in funding to corrupt organizations.

Benjamin Netanyahu is a historic and strong leader for Israel, with a deep understanding of security and strong global relations. He aims to strengthen Israel economically and militarily, while avoiding unnecessary risks. The internal political turmoil in Israel reflects a vibrant democracy, contrasting with the lack of democracy and freedoms in Palestine. Israel allows for individual freedoms, while division has historically made the Jewish people vulnerable. Common ground and secure borders are crucial for stability.
Palestinian support
Jared Kushner believes that many supporters of the Palestinian people are misinformed and should hold Hamas accountable instead of blaming Israel. He emphasizes Israel's security and the opportunity for Palestinians to have a better life.

North Korea
Jared Kushner's approach to diplomacy is based on personal connections and conversations rather than planning and strategizing.

Regarding North Korea, he acknowledges the difficulty of deescalation and arranging meetings in a closed-off part of the world.

Personal connections, kindness, and camaraderie were emphasized in resolving conflicts. The use of emojis in diplomacy was also mentioned, highlighting the potential for positive outcomes if approached in the right way.
Personalities of leaders
The influence of personalities and personal relationships on negotiations in the Middle East, specifically Israel and Palestine, is discussed. The speaker emphasizes the significant impact of personalities in these negotiations, citing historical examples and personal experiences. A miscommunication between leaders led to a symbolic visit that changed perceptions. The Abraham Accords demonstrated the crucial role of a phone call and a statement in integrating countries. Jared Kushner's visit to Israel and UAE, resulting from a miscommunication, explored different methodologies that were tried and failed. The speaker also highlights the importance of actions in diplomacy, distinguishing between politicians and transformative leaders. President Trump's unpredictability and willingness to take action made their words more effective. The speaker aims to bridge the divides between the private sector's focus on results and the government's value of longevity.
Government bureaucracy
Government bureaucracy is characterized by a lack of direction and cover, as well as ineffective negotiation skills. Jared Kushner emphasizes the need to bring private sector project management skills to government and encourages individuals with private sector experience to contribute. The founding fathers viewed government service as a temporary duty rather than a career.
Key points:
- Government officials often lack a business mindset and fail to approach issues from a solutions-oriented perspective.
- Government regulation is often ineffective and focused on solving past problems rather than addressing future ones.
- The Trump Administration has made efforts to reduce the cost and burden of regulations on the private sector.
- Bureaucrats creating regulations instead of having them legislated by Congress can lead to unintended consequences.
- Government bureaucracy has resulted in more restrictions and costs for smaller institutions, concentrating power in larger banks and widening the wealth gap.
- The Trump administration's deregulatory efforts aim to promote economic growth, but careful consideration of the consequences is necessary.

Despite the difficulties, Jared learned valuable lessons about life, humanity, and himself. He now uses his experiences to advise and support others going through similar situations.
Money and power
Money and power can greatly influence people's judgment, as Jared Kushner witnessed in the White House. However, he believes that having the right leaders and good friends can help mitigate the negative effects. Kushner's involvement in prison reform led to the successful passing of the First Step Act, which focused on rehabilitation and second chances. His company implemented a second chance program, providing mentorship and job training to individuals from prisons. The reforms, modeled after successful programs in Texas and Georgia, resulted in a significant decrease in recidivism rates. Kushner also worked on criminal justice reform legislation, addressing racial disparities in sentencing and allowing for retroactive application. Despite initial skepticism, he built a coalition of support and gained valuable experience in negotiating and navigating the legislative process. Through his efforts, Kushner emphasized the importance of building trust and working together with both conservative and liberal groups.
Trust and betrayal
Trust and betrayal in politics is a prevalent issue, with politicians often prioritizing their own interests over friendships. However, Jared Kushner believes in the importance of working together towards a common objective to reveal people's true intentions. Despite occasional conflicts, he has about 100 lifelong friends who served for the right reasons. However, caution is necessary as politics is filled with unpredictable individuals.

He also aims to create an economic and security corridor from Oman to Israel, free from terrorism and conflict. Despite the tension caused by the Jamal Khashoggi case, MBS has made efforts to modernize Saudi society and strengthen alliances. Jared Kushner emphasizes the importance of creating a paradigm that leads to positive outcomes in foreign policy.
Israeli–Palestinian peace process
Achieving peace between Israel and Palestine is challenging due to structural issues and flawed incentive structures. Previous peace discussions have been unsuccessful, resulting in more Israeli settlements and increased funding for Palestinians without benefiting the people. Lack of rule of law, judicial system, property rights, and opportunities for a better life further hinder progress. Jared Kushner criticizes the traditional approach to peace negotiations, emphasizing the need for a practical solution. He suggests focusing on territorial contiguity, security, and addressing the Palestinians' shortcomings. Kushner also highlights the importance of economic development, conditions-based aid, and transparency. The involvement of King Abdullah from Jordan and increasing diplomatic relations with Israel can lead to positive outcomes. The Palestinian people suffer the most, held back by their leadership and being hostages to Hamas in Gaza. Overcoming obstacles such as emotions and hatred is crucial for growth. Economic reforms and creating opportunities for the people are essential for peace.

The two leaders set ground rules for their relationship, focusing on trade and North Korea.
