- US leveraged Israel's isolation to push Gaza deal.
- Failed Hamas strike led to Israel's global isolation.
- Israel was initially uncomfortable with US demands.
- Kushner claims the deal benefited both sides.
Jared Kushner, former President Donald Trump's son-in-law and advisor, revealed that the US administration exploited Israel's international isolation following a failed operation in Gaza approximately a year ago. The operation, intended to eliminate Hamas leadership, resulted in global condemnation of Israel, creating a diplomatic pressure point.
"Israel carried out the attack in Gaza, and it was a terrible thing," Kushner stated, describing the military action as unsuccessful and leading to Israel's worldwide isolation. He explained that the US administration recognized this political pressure and utilized it to advance a deal for the Gaza Strip.
"We used this dynamic to push them toward a deal, which they are very happy with today," Kushner said. He acknowledged that Israel was initially hesitant about some of the terms the US administration pushed for, noting, "At the time, they felt a bit uncomfortable with the things we were pushing them to do."
However, Kushner asserted that the agreement ultimately proved beneficial for both sides. "In the end, it turned out to be excellent for Israel, and excellent for the residents of Gaza," he concluded.
