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

And since now, there's been more resources allowed to go to the Iranian regime by lack of enforcement of sanctions.

And as a result, Iran is funding Hezbollah, Hamas.

They were funding the Houthis.

Now there's a little bit of a detente between Saudi and Iran, which has led to that going down, which only further

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

Proves that Iran was behind the Houthis, which is what the Saudis had been saying for years and Iran was denying.

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

So there's a very strong relationship between the two.

And we always knew that the way that Iran fights wars or fights conflicts is never directly.

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

It's usually through its proxies.

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

And in this case, Hamas has been a proxy for Iran, who wanted to obviously see the destruction of Israel, but also does not want to see the Israelis and the Saudis come together for a peace agreement.

In actuality, I don't think any of it is, but the Al-Aqsa Mosque is something that all of the Shia jihadists have used for years in order to justify their actions that are aggressive towards Israel.

So

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

This is something I'll maybe even take a step back and go through.

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

When I was working initially in my first year on the peace plan, I was doing a lot of listening.

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

And quite frankly, a lot of what people were saying to me didn't make sense.

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

And the reason why I was trying to figure out, they were talking about sovereignty over Al-Aqsa Mosque.

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

After the temple was destroyed, then there was a big mosque built there, and it's one of the more holy places in Islam now.

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

So the big thing everyone was saying is, what do you do with this land where you have a mosque built over a very big Jewish site?

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

I was hearing all of the experts, and I always say experts with quotes because only in Washington can you work on something for a decade and continue to fail, and then you basically leave and are considered an expert.

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

But that's one of the problems with Washington, which maybe we could talk about later.

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

But the notion here was I went and I said, let me try to understand what the issue is with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict with the people, right?
