Lex Fridman Podcast · #399 – Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East · 11 Oct 2023 podcast

And all of America's allies had felt betrayed.

President Trump came into power.

We rebuilt the trust and the relationships with all of our traditional allies.

We were able to eliminate ISIS, the territorial caliphate.

And then we were able to project strength in the region, really go after Iran's wallet.

We were able to stop through crushing sanctions a lot of their financial resources, which they were using to fund all these terror groups.

And so we left the Middle East with six peace deals and a fairly peaceful world.

So seeing what's happening, I think it was completely avoidable.

I think it's horrible to see that it's occurring.

And I pray that those in power will make the right decisions to restore safety, but also to potentially create a better paradigm for peace in the future.

I think you did an excellent job, Lex, of really giving the summary.

Just a couple things maybe I'll add to it is that Hamas was originally founded from the Muslim Brotherhood in Egypt, which is a group that's caused a lot of issues in the region.

They've attacked Israel many times in the past.

There's a lot of discussion about how Israel is an occupying power.

Well, in Gaza in 2005, they withdrew from all the land, and then they say Israel's an apartheid state.

Well, Israel then gave governance of the region to the Palestinians.

And then what's happened is the Palestinian people's lives have now gone down, not up since then.

I will say that under Hamas's leadership in Gaza, the people who have suffered the most are the Palestinian people.

And I've watched cries throughout my time in government from people saying, we want to see the Palestinian people live a better life.

I agree with those people.
