He adds: “Four years ago, my father-in-law [Trump] asked me to paint about peace in the Middle East. I gave it my all. There are still many paintings to be done, but Abraham’s agreement [with the United Arab Emirates] is a big step forward. Participating in the creation of the [standardization agreement], and I say this as the grandson of two Holocaust survivors, means more to me and my circle of relatives than I will ever be. We will continue to seek peace between Israel, the biblical homeland of the Jewish people, and their Arab and Muslim neighbors, and I have never been so positive about peace.
Finally, says Kushner, the president has asked him to stress how proud he is “of the bond he has been able to restore between the US and Israel.”
Prime Minister Netanyahu speaks at a press convention at his official in Jerusalem after a meeting with senior adviser to U.S. President Donald Trump, Jared Kushner, and national security adviser Robert O’Brien.
