Kushner Calls Gaza Deal a Success Despite Military Setback
Jared Kushner, former White House advisor and architect of the Abraham Accords, stated that the recent military operation in Rafah, Gaza, was a military failure but ultimately paved the way for the hostage deal.
Kushner, speaking at a conference in Jerusalem, acknowledged the military shortcomings of the operation but emphasized its role in pressuring Hamas and facilitating the release of hostages. He did not elaborate on the specifics of the operation or the deal.
His remarks come amid ongoing discussions and debates surrounding the conduct and effectiveness of Israeli military actions in Gaza and their impact on achieving strategic objectives, including the return of hostages held by Hamas since the October 7th attacks.
