In a remote address to a security conference in Ukraine, US President Donald Trump’s senior adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner says the administration used Israel’s “global isolation” against it following the strike last year targeting Hamas leaders in Doha in order to broker a hostage-ceasefire deal with the Gaza-ruling terror group.
“Israel did the strike in Doha, which was a terrible thing. It was unsuccessful as a military operation and that led to Israel being globally isolated and we used that dynamic in order to push them into a deal that now, today, they are quite happy with,” Kushner says. “But ultimately it turned out to be great for them and great for the people of Gaza.”
