Kushner: Deal gives us room to ‘get what we want’ on human rights
Asked during a briefing with reporters what the US is doing to address alleged human rights abuses in the countries it has pushed to agree to normalization agreements with Israel, White House senior adviser Jared Kushner says, “we recognize that some of these countries share our values more than others do.”
He goes on to argue that in forging better relations with such countries, the US is in a better position “to get what we want” on other issues.
He also adds that the Islamic State “was not too good with human rights” either.
