Jared Kushner

Like, don't tell me about theoretical things.

Like, tell me...

I want to move the line from here to here.

I want to change this word.

So I tried to make it much more tactical.

And what I realized was the Palestinians, they'd worked so hard to get the Arab world to stay with the line of the Arab Peace Initiative.

And so I went back and I read the Air Peace Initiative.

It was 10 lines and it didn't have any detail.

So it was a concept.

And so they liked that concept because it allowed them to reject everything.

They kept getting more money.

I mean, Bibi Netanyahu, who runs one of the most incredible economies in the world, who runs an incredible superpower militarily for the size of their country, he would fly to Washington to meet us and he'd be taking a commercial El Al plane.

A boss who runs a refugee organization, a refugee group, right, that claims that they don't have a state that gets billions of dollars in aid every year from the global community would fly in a $60 million Boeing BBJ.

So the whole thing was just very corrupt and off.

And I do think that that's why it, I don't think people were incentivized to solve it, to be honest.

You have to separate it into two different issues.

And I think that that's actually how we came to the Abraham Accords is that, you know, I tell the story in the book and it was one of my like favorite experiences during my time in diplomacy where I went to meet with Sultan Qaboos, who was the Sultan of Oman.

And we fly out there because he'd had a secret meeting with Bibi.

And I thought maybe he was open to normalizing with Israel.

So after he meets with Bibi, he calls me and says, I want you to come see me.
