Jared Kushner

That image ended up capturing everyone's heart.

So going back to Sadat, that visit was very critical.

And what was interesting was, is according to this book, it happened because of a miscommunication.

That was the first part.

The second part of the book that's just amazing theater, and actually the book was based on a play, was just going back and forth with all of the different methodologies that they tried that failed, but they kept trying out it.

And then ultimately seeing how the personalities were able to find ways

to make the compromise that ultimately was a very, very big thing for more stability in the Middle East.

And so amazing book, I would highly recommend it.

A very entertaining read and something that at least gave me encouragement to keep going when the task I was pursuing seemed so, so, so large.

I think you have to be respectful to the craft that you're in where words matter, but then realize that they don't matter as much.

And then also...

focus on the fact that the actions are actually what's gonna matter more than the words.

And so you have a difference between leaders and politicians.

Politicians are there to say the right thing and to hold the power.

Leaders are people who are willing to do things that will be transformational from my perspective.

And so when I would think about diplomacy,

words without actions or without the threat of actions.

And that was something that President Trump did very well, was that people knew that he was willing to take action.

He was very unpredictable in how he would act.

And that made our words much more effective in what they did.
