Last spring, Jared Kushner took a break from royally bungling the governments response to the COVID-19 crisis to have a chat with famed journalist Bob Woodward. At one point in their discussion, the then first son-in-law explained to Woodward that, in this estimation, the most dangerous people around the president are overconfident idiots. Rather than having had a come-to-Jesus moment about the fact that he literally had no business advising the leader of the free world about anything but how to impersonate a Madame Tussauds wax figure, Kushner was criticizing other people for supposedly overestimating their abilitiesduring the same interview in which he bragged that the White House had cut medical experts out of the governments response to a historic public health crisis. Kushners overconfidence, of course, had tragic consequences for the country; by Trumps last full day in office, the U.S. had lost 400,000 people to the virus the administration claimed would miraculously go away and nearly two months later, an additional 135,000 people are dead. Thats part of the reasonamong many, many others!that no one ever wants to see or hear from Jared Kushner or his in-laws ever again. And yet, the guy calling other people overconfident idiots is not only still talking but offering his father-in-laws successor foreign policy tips.
In an op-ed for The Wall Street Journal published on Sunday entitled Opportunity Beckons in the Mideast, Kushner kicks things off by giving the strong impression that hes been working as a travel agent since leaving the White House in January, writing:
The geopolitical earthquake that began with the Abraham Accords hasnt ended. More than 130,000 Israelis have visited Dubai since President Trump hosted the peace deals signing this past September, and air travel opened up for the first time in August. New, friendly relations are floweringwait until direct flights get going between Israel and Morocco.
Then, he makes an extremely bold statement, claiming we are witnessing the last vestiges of what has been known as the Arab-Israeli conflict, the suggestion being that the root of the Arab-Israeli conflict is all about the ability to go on vacation in Dubai. But before one can fully consider the absurdity of this section of Kushners essay, he busts out an even more ridiculous claim, punctuated by a line that only a guy whose every achievement in life has been handed to him by his father (and father-in-law):
One of the reasons the Arab-Israeli conflict persisted for so long was the myth that it could be solved only after Israel and the Palestinians resolved their differences. That was never true. The Abraham Accords exposed the conflict as nothing more than a real-estate dispute between Israelis and Palestinians that need not hold up Israels relations with the broader Arab world.
Yes, according to young Jared, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is simply a matter of real estate and if Trump had had a second term you can bet Kushner wouldve solved the whole thing by hooking the Palestinians up with some sweet two-bed, one-bath condos with two months free on a 12-month lease. (Trump branded, of course.) This take is up there with the one Kushner shared with the world back in 2019, which was that in order to bring peace to the Middle East, people must simply stop doing terrorism.
