#399 – Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East

And you're right, too.

#399 – Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East

There's way more emojis involved in diplomacy than I ever would have expected.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#399 – Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East

Yeah, completely in every way.

#399 – Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East

I mean, that's an incredible book and it's a very entertaining read.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#399 – Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East

It has obviously a lot of good historical context on some of the key players, whether it was Anwar Sadat or Menachem Begin or Jimmy Carter and Cy Vance and a lot of the others who were involved with those negotiations.

And

Lex Fridman Podcast
#399 – Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East

The thing that I kind of took from that experience was just how personal it was.

#399 – Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East

And again, one of my favorite stories from that book was how Anwar Sadat, who was a big, big leader, he had a mystic who was, according to this book, again, history, I like reading it, but I always realize that you have to notice that this is just the perspective of a given author that's writing it.

But the way that they write this book was that he had an advisor who was a mystic, and the mystic was having a back channel with the Israelis.

And the mystic told Sadat, if you go to Israel and you make a speech at the Knesset, Bagan is ready to give you the Sinai.

And so he goes to Israel.

#399 – Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East

They set this whole thing up.

He goes and gives the Knesset.

They go for their meeting after.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#399 – Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East

And Sadat says, okay, well, are we going to do this thing?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#399 – Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East

And Bagan says, what are you talking about?

Lex Fridman Podcast
#399 – Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East

I'm not giving you an inch of our land.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#399 – Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East

And it was just one of these things where it was a miscommunication that brought about the symbolic visit of Anwar Sadat to Israel.

Lex Fridman Podcast
#399 – Jared Kushner: Israel, Palestine, Hamas, Gaza, Iran, and the Middle East

And that was one of these notions that just made everyone think that something was possible that they thought was impossible a moment before.
