Political problem set is very different, where the conclusion of a problem set is essentially the beginning of a new paradigm.

So when I would think about how do you

How do you move pieces around the board?

#399 โ€“ Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East

You couldn't say, let me just solve the problem.

#399 โ€“ Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East

You have to think about what happens the day after the signing and how do you create a paradigm that has positivity to it?

So the biggest piece of what President Trump did during his four years in office was he really strengthened the relationship with Israel, number one.

And he did things like recognizing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel.

He got out of the Iran deal.

We did an economic conference in Bahrain where we brought Israelis to meet with Saudi and Emirati and Qatari businessmen, and everyone came together.

And everyone said that if you did it, the world was going to end.
