Transcript [00:00] Jared Kushner is one of Trump's [00:01] advisers, or should we call him an [00:03] unofficial adviser since when Trump got [00:05] elected for a second term, he kind of [00:07] promised that he wouldn't be involved in [00:09] this administration. But, here he is. He [00:11] was in Egypt yesterday meeting, of all [00:14] people, with the leadership of Hamas, or [00:16] at least what's left of them. And today, [00:18] he's in Israel where he's expected to [00:20] meet with Prime Minister Benjamin [00:21] Netanyahu, as well [music] as other [00:23] Israeli officials. Now, ever since Trump [00:26] got involved in the war with Gaza, he [00:28] and the Board of Peace, which is [00:30] something that an organization that he [00:31] created, have been attempting to bring [00:33] an end to this three-year-old war. A [00:36] plan that sounds really noble, but [00:37] unfortunately, it's not based in a lot [00:40] of reality. While Kushner may appear to [00:42] have the best interests of Israel in [00:44] mind, when you look at what's going on [00:46] behind the scenes, it's pretty difficult [00:49] to trust this process. It's kind of [00:50] difficult to trust Kushner, and it's [00:52] very difficult to trust Hamas. We'll get [00:55] into all of this today here on The [00:58] Israel Guys. [01:00] So, why did Jared Kushner meet with the [01:02] leadership of Hamas yesterday in Egypt? [01:05] Why is he involved in negotiating peace [01:07] in the Middle East? After all, after his [01:10] stint in Trump's first administration as [01:12] one of the Middle East advisers, [01:14] uh Kushner said he wasn't going to be [01:16] involved in Trump's administration this [01:18] go around. But, here he is showing up [01:20] out of nowhere meeting with the devil [01:22] themself. [01:24] Uh and by that, I mean Hamas, cuz [01:25] commenting on Kushner's visit with [01:27] Hamas, Israeli news anchor Miri Regev [01:30] Khaieli said, quote, "One has to wonder [01:32] if Kushner would have been willing to [01:34] sit down with Hitler." Her words, not [01:37] mine. [01:38] Uh just to catch you guys up, October [01:40] 7th, 2023, Hamas invaded Israel and [01:43] slaughtered over 1,000 Israelis. Israel [01:47] then entered Gaza with the stated [01:48] mission of obliterating Hamas, nothing [01:52] less. Nearly three years later, that [01:54] goal for Israel has not changed. For [01:58] months now, however, there's been sort [02:00] of a stalemate in Gaza. Maybe you [02:02] haven't even been hearing much about [02:03] Gaza, and that is for good reason. [02:06] There's even a yellow line in Gaza with [02:08] Israel controlling 70% of the territory [02:11] with a demarcation line in between them [02:13] and Hamas and the people of Gaza. Uh if [02:16] that sounds familiar, here in Judea and [02:18] Samaria, we have what's called a green [02:19] line because in 1967, when they draw the [02:22] armistice lines or when they drew the [02:23] armistice lines, they used a [02:25] green-colored pencil, and more than 50 [02:29] years later, we have the green line. It [02:31] remains to be seen whether or not we'll [02:32] be talking about the yellow line decades [02:35] down the road. Um so, the only big [02:37] change this year is that now we have [02:39] this group called the Board of Peace, [02:41] uh a creation of Trump's. It's a private [02:43] organization, from what I understand. [02:45] Lots of countries signed on to it. Lots [02:47] of countries involved. Even [02:49] international troops from other [02:50] countries now landing in Israel to help [02:52] facilitate this road map for peace, [02:55] right? They're trying to implement some [02:56] kind of peace plan so that we can move [02:58] forward uh and Gaza can rebuild. And as [03:02] I mentioned, we saw, I think just this [03:03] past week even, I think African forces [03:06] landing on the tarmac at Ben Gurion to [03:08] help join the Board of Peace and the [03:10] international stabilization force. [03:12] Now, if you remember, Trump published a [03:15] 20-point peace plan for Gaza in 2025 [03:18] last year, a plan which was eventually [03:21] scrapped due to it not being realistic, [03:23] able to be implemented. So, this time [03:25] around, [03:27] Kushner, uh along with the Board of [03:28] Peace, I don't know if he actually [03:30] officially has any role with the Board [03:31] of Peace or with Trump's administration, [03:34] but apparently, here he is in the Middle [03:35] East kind of [03:37] presenting himself as a Middle East [03:39] advisor for Middle East peace on behalf [03:41] of President Trump, even though he said [03:43] he was not going to be involved in this [03:45] administration. But here he is, arriving [03:47] with a new 15-point peace plan. So, [03:49] we've gone from 20 points to 15 points. [03:52] Interestingly enough, the number one [03:55] point on the plan is something you have [03:57] to hear. It's not about disarming Hamas, [04:00] it's not about rebuilding Gaza, it's not [04:02] about restoring peace, or about ensuring [04:04] safety for the people of Gaza, but [04:06] instead it's a revitalization of an [04:08] age-old farce that the world has been [04:10] peddling for decades and decades and [04:13] decades. The number one point on this [04:15] 15-point peace plan that Jared Kushner [04:18] is peddling is about the creation of a [04:21] Palestinian state. Surprise, surprise, [04:24] surprise. I'm going to read it to you. [04:27] Quote, "All parties reaffirm their [04:28] commitment to President Trump's [04:29] comprehensive plan to achieve peace in [04:31] Gaza, which consti- which constitutes, [04:33] together with the UN Security Council [04:35] Resolution number 2803, [04:38] the agreed-upon international framework [04:39] guiding the implementation of this [04:41] process. Through this process, the [04:43] parties aim at ending the cycle of [04:45] destruction, securing the complete [04:46] Israeli withdrawal from Gaza Strip, [04:49] restoring normal life, enabling [04:51] Palestinian governance, reconstruction, [04:53] security, recovery, and economic [04:54] development, rehabilitating damaged [04:57] sectors, and facilitating launching a [04:59] credible political path that achieves [05:01] self-determination and statehood." So, [05:04] there it is. There you have it. They [05:06] threw in words like security, recovery, [05:09] economic development, but it's all based [05:11] on this idea that we would create a [05:14] Palestinian state, a state for [05:17] self-determination [05:18] and statehood statehood for the [05:20] Palestinians. And obviously, you could [05:22] say, "Yeah, but this is about Gaza." [05:24] When has the issue of Gaza and the Gaza [05:26] Strip ever been separated from the issue [05:28] of Judea and Samaria, or like the world [05:30] calls likes to call it the occupied West [05:32] Bank and creating a Palestinian state in [05:35] Israel's heartland? [05:37] Um the answer is never. They've always [05:39] gone hand in hand. So, I can guarantee [05:41] you from personal experience, almost 20 [05:43] years here in Judea and Samaria, that [05:45] when they say a political path that [05:48] achieves self-determination and [05:50] statehood, they're not just talking [05:51] about Gaza, they're talking about a [05:53] Palestinian state for the Palestinian [05:55] people in Gaza and Judaea and Samaria, [05:59] which, as we'll talk about later in the [06:01] show, the Palestinians themselves will [06:02] not be satisfied with because they want [06:05] the entire state of Israel. Now, like I [06:08] mentioned, Israel has remained committed [06:10] to Hamas being obliterated ever since [06:12] the beginning of the war and they still [06:14] are not deviating from that point. The [06:16] 15-point peace plan calls for Hamas to [06:19] be disarmed. [06:20] Um but the question is, is that going to [06:23] happen? Because we all know that Hamas [06:26] will not ever give up their idea of [06:27] fighting against Israel and obliterating [06:29] the Jewish people. [06:31] Now, yesterday, Kushner was meeting [06:33] privately with Hamas's leadership in [06:35] Egypt. Um and the general feeling here [06:37] in Israel is that he's going to pressure [06:40] Israel today into withdrawing from Gaza [06:42] or at least starting the withdrawal [06:44] before Hamas disarms. Now, why is [06:47] Kushner and the Board of Peace touting a [06:49] Palestinian state as the number one part [06:52] of this new 15-point plan for the [06:55] roadmap for peace in Gaza? Well, we'll [06:58] get into that as well as why this new [07:00] 15-point plan is eerily similar to [07:02] Trump's Deal of the Century in 2020. But [07:05] first, did you know that Israel Guys [07:07] members get seven different perks every [07:10] single month? And I'm not going to spoil [07:12] what they are for you, but if you become [07:14] a member by donating to The Israel Guys, [07:16] which is a nonprofit in the United [07:18] States every single month, you get to [07:20] choose the amount, by the way. Could be [07:21] $5, it could be $500 a month. Uh you get [07:24] to you will By doing that and signing [07:26] up, you'll get to unlock all seven of [07:29] those perks and benefits that only [07:31] monthly donors to The Israel Guys [07:34] receive. Everything you see us do, the [07:36] videos, the headlines, our debunking, [07:38] our visitor center, the hundreds of [07:39] volunteers serving on the ground every [07:41] single year, None of it happens on its [07:44] own. It's made possible by people who [07:46] partner with us every single month, [07:48] people just like you. After more than 20 [07:51] years of volunteering here, we've [07:52] learned the best way to stand with [07:53] Israel is through the meat is through [07:55] publishing true and factual and [07:57] authentic media and stories from [07:59] Israel's heartland and through boots on [08:01] the ground and monthly donations just [08:04] like yours make that work possible. If [08:07] you want to see what all seven of those [08:08] perks are, then you can scan the QR code [08:11] that's on the screen or you can click [08:12] the link in the description below and [08:14] you choose any amount to get started as [08:16] long as it's a monthly donation. Now, [08:19] back to the show and why what we're [08:21] talking about with the 15-point peace [08:22] plan in Gaza is very eerily similar to [08:24] the deal of the century. Now, the deal [08:26] deal of the century is something that we [08:28] had very personal [08:31] a very personal relationship with and [08:32] that's because [08:34] we're based here in Judea and Samaria. [08:36] And the deal of the century what we knew [08:38] before it came out was going to talk [08:39] about creation of a Palestinian state in [08:41] Judea and Samaria. Months before it was [08:44] published, the leaders here in Israel's [08:46] heartland started coming to us very [08:48] worried and very concerned because they [08:50] knew this deal was very likely to ask [08:53] Israel to give up land, to give up [08:54] territory [08:55] in the heartland. Now, back then, Jared [08:58] Kushner was one of the architects of the [09:00] deal of the century along with a man [09:02] named Jason Greenblatt who you may [09:03] remember. They were Trump's Middle East [09:06] peace team during that time. [09:08] I had a chance to actually meet with [09:09] meet Jason Greenblatt and hear him [09:11] speak. Um and I very quickly discovered [09:15] by listening to him, brief chance of [09:17] meeting him, and through talking with [09:19] other people in Judea and Samaria [09:20] including the leadership here, that [09:23] these two guys were not interested in [09:25] hearing the uh the hearing from the [09:27] leaders in Judea and Samaria. [09:29] Uh we were told of a lot of frustration [09:31] because these men were all too happy to [09:34] give lots of time a day to the Arab [09:35] leadership in this area, the PA [09:37] leadership, local Arab leaders, and the [09:40] leaders of other Arab nations all around [09:42] Israel but [09:44] they were pretty much ignored. If you're [09:45] a governor in Samaria, government [09:47] governor in Benjamin or Judea, [09:50] uh you were basically ignored or maybe [09:51] given, you know, 5 or 10 minutes with [09:53] Jared Kushner, Jason Greenblatt, [09:55] but uh basically they got the feeling [09:57] that Kushner and Greenblatt were way [09:59] more interested in making a deal with [10:00] the Arabs than they were with working [10:02] with Israeli communities who were going [10:04] to be affected by this deal of the [10:06] century. And unfortunately, [10:08] all of that turned out to be very true [10:10] because the deal of the century called [10:12] for settlements in Judea and Samaria to [10:14] be sealed off in what they called [10:16] enclaves, which is pretty much another [10:18] word for ghetto, which is very eerily [10:21] reminiscent of the Holocaust in World [10:23] War II. [10:24] >> [snorts] [10:24] >> And they would outside those enclaves [10:27] they'd be surrounded by the new [10:28] Palestinian state. Well, 6 years later, [10:31] Kushner appears to be following the [10:33] exact same playbook while being [10:35] extremely ignorant and tone-deaf to [10:37] what's actually happening boots on the [10:39] ground in Israel because he's too busy [10:42] meeting with the leadership of Hamas in [10:44] Egypt. After meeting the meeting [10:46] yesterday in Egypt, Hamas's leadership [10:48] announced that it has requested the [10:50] board of peace to quote compel Israel [10:52] into accepting their blueprint for peace [10:55] in Gaza. In an official statement, they [10:57] said they're calling on the board of [10:58] peace and other nations to quote compel [11:00] the occupation occupation to implement [11:03] all its obligations under the first [11:05] phase, end all violations, halt killings [11:07] and incursions, and approve the roadmap [11:09] for the second phase. In other words, [11:11] they want the board of peace and the [11:13] United States to compel Israel, which [11:15] was what they call the occupation cuz [11:17] the occupation is not the IDF in Judea [11:19] and Samaria, it's all of Israel. It's [11:22] Bibi Netanyahu, it's every [11:24] member of Knesset in Israel, it's the [11:25] government of [11:26] Israel, the land and the people. That's [11:28] who they consider the occupation, and [11:30] they are asking the United States and [11:32] the Board of Peace to compel them to [11:34] implement all obligations on the first [11:36] phase. In other words, they don't want [11:38] to give up their weapons, they don't [11:39] want to disarm, and they want America [11:40] and the Board of Peace to force Israel [11:42] to withdraw from the yellow line and to [11:44] stop eliminating terrorists in in Gaza. [11:47] I don't know if you followed the news, [11:48] but Israel's been slowly eliminating [11:50] every October 7th terrorist one by one [11:53] in targeted strikes and targeted [11:54] killings in Gaza. And Hamas doesn't [11:57] really like it the the fact that they're [11:59] taking out their terrorists. [12:01] Now, Israel National News Arutz Sheva [12:04] Sheva reported that Kushner is slated to [12:06] travel to Israel on Monday, today, for a [12:08] sit-down with Prime Minister Benjamin [12:09] Netanyahu. And a source informed Axios [12:12] that those deliberations are expected to [12:14] center on quote corresponding steps [12:16] required on the part of Israel. [12:19] This is what makes Israel and people [12:22] here very anxious. One official [12:24] acquainted with the negotiations [12:25] described the core objective as an [12:27] initiative to quote translate the [12:29] roadmap commitments into concrete and [12:31] verifiable steps. [12:32] In other [snorts] words, you can [12:34] guarantee that they're pushing Israel to [12:36] take steps on their side even though [12:38] Hamas is still refusing to disarm. Uh [12:42] Arutz Sheva also reported that [12:44] Washington is anticipating tangible [12:46] movement across several fronts, [12:47] including a cessation of military [12:49] strikes in Gaza, aka Israel stopping [12:52] strikes in Gaza on the October 7th [12:54] terrorists, [12:55] Israeli troops pulling back from the [12:57] yellow line, a substantial increase in [12:59] humanitarian aid shipments into the [13:01] territory and forward movement in [13:02] constructing constructing governance and [13:05] civilian reconstruction frameworks. So, [13:07] Zvi Yehezkeli [13:10] is is an Israeli journalist and anchor. [13:12] And he had a very sharp critique for [13:15] Jared Kushner on i24 News this week. He [13:18] said quote the very occurrence of this [13:20] meeting is a victory for Hamas, [13:23] legitimizing it, granting it [13:24] recognition, and paving its way for the [13:26] day after. He said that on I24 News this [13:30] week. He also noted that the meeting [13:32] directly contradicts the goals that [13:34] Israel set out at the very beginning of [13:36] the war. He said, quote, "Nearly 3 years [13:38] after the war broke out where the [13:39] explicit objective was the military and [13:41] political destruction of Hamas. Watching [13:43] a meeting like this unfold is truly a [13:45] slap in Israel's face." He said, quote, [13:49] "Israel must act as though this meeting [13:50] never happened and continue fighting [13:52] Hamas both militarily and politically." [13:56] Now, just a couple more things before we [13:57] finish up, but in a January 2020 [14:00] interview with Sky News Arabia, Jared [14:02] Kushner said he had read 25 books on the [14:06] Israel-Palestine conflict. And he was [14:09] defending his role as a quote expert of [14:11] for forging Trump's administration's [14:13] Middle East peace plan. Well, [14:16] unfortunately, you can read as many [14:17] books as you want, but if you don't [14:19] spend time boots on the ground with the [14:22] actual people who live here in the local [14:24] leadership, then I'm sorry, but you will [14:26] never understand the Middle East peace [14:30] conflict. Doesn't matter if you've read [14:32] 25 books or not. If you actually live [14:35] here and you spend time here and you [14:37] meet the real people boots on the [14:38] ground, and you travel throughout this [14:40] land, that's the only way you can [14:41] understand the culture and the mindset [14:44] of what's happening here on the front [14:46] lines. [14:47] Kushner said in that op-ed, quote, "We [14:49] are witnessing the last vestiges of what [14:51] has been known as the Arab-Israeli [14:52] conflict." [14:54] He said again, quote, "One of the [14:55] reasons the Arab-Israeli conflict [14:57] persisted for so long was the myth that [14:58] it could be solved only after Israel and [15:00] the Palestinians resolved their [15:02] differences. That was never true. The [15:04] Abraham Accords exposed the conflict as [15:06] nothing more than a real estate dispute [15:08] between Israelis and Palestinians that [15:09] need not hold up Israel's relations with [15:12] the broader Arab world. It will [15:14] ultimately be resolved when both sides [15:15] agree on an arbitrary boundary line." [15:19] Now, I don't know about Kushner, but [15:22] if he actually read 25 books, then he [15:24] should know history, including the fact [15:26] that over and over and over and over and [15:28] over again throughout the decades, [15:30] Israel has agreed to give up land. That [15:33] means they have agreed on boundary [15:35] lines, including one of the last plans a [15:38] couple of decades ago when Israel agreed [15:40] to give up 93% [15:42] of Jerusalem, Judea, and Samaria. 93% [15:46] included including part of Israel's [15:48] capital, the holy city of Jerusalem, and [15:50] guess who refused? The Palestinians [15:53] themselves refused. Over and over again, [15:55] Israel has offered to create a [15:56] Palestinian state. They've bent over [15:57] backwards. They've agreed to [15:59] compromises, and the Palestinians and [16:01] the Arabs have refused consistently [16:03] every single time. So, it's a myth to [16:05] believe that this disagreement, this [16:08] Middle East dispute, will be resolved [16:10] when both sides agree to boundary lines. [16:13] It's It's [16:15] just uncomprehensible. [16:17] Now, [16:18] here's the problem. Jared Kushner does [16:20] not care about what's happening boots on [16:21] the ground either in Gaza or in Judea [16:23] and Samaria. That's my own opinion. He [16:25] chooses to believe Arab leadership, [16:27] whether the Arab world or Arab [16:29] leadership in Gaza, Hamas leadership, [16:31] Palestinian Authority leadership. [16:34] Um, and he chooses to believe that [16:36] they'll eventually just agree to peace [16:37] deals, borders, and boundary lines, even [16:39] though they haven't historically done [16:41] it, not even one time for over 50 years. [16:45] And he refuses to learn anything from [16:47] the past six decades of history, [16:49] including the fact that every mantra [16:51] every repeat every repeated from the [16:53] Palestinian conflict includes the words [16:55] from the river to the sea sea, Palestine [16:58] will be free. As in, the entire land of [17:01] Israel will be free from all of the Jews [17:04] of Israel. That's what they want every [17:08] single time, and they never have [17:10] deviated from that, and they never will [17:12] deviate from that. [17:14] You don't have to take my word for it, [17:15] though, because here's some quotes from [17:17] the Palestinians themselves. 1977, [17:20] Zuhair Mohsen, who is an official in the [17:22] PLO, Palestine Liberation Organization, [17:25] he said, "Quote, the Palestinian people [17:26] does not exist. The creation of a [17:28] Palestinian state is only a means for [17:30] continuing our struggle against the [17:32] state of Israel for our Arab unity. In [17:35] reality today, there's no difference [17:36] between Jordanians, Palestinians, [17:38] Syrians, and Lebanese. Only for [17:41] political and tactical reasons do we [17:43] speak today about the existence of a [17:44] Palestinian people since Arab national [17:47] interest demand that we posit the [17:48] existence of a distinct Palestinian [17:51] people to oppose Zionism." [17:54] Don't believe him? Well, how about [17:56] Yasser Arafat, the most infamous of [17:58] Palestinian leaders in recent years? In [18:01] the Washington Post from 1970, he said, [18:04] "Quote, we shall never stop until we can [18:06] go back home and Israel is destroyed. [18:09] The goal of our struggle is the end of [18:10] Israel and there can be no compromises [18:12] or mediations. The goal of this violence [18:15] is the elimination of Zionism from [18:17] Palestine and all its political, [18:19] economic, and military aspects. We don't [18:21] want peace. We want victory. Peace for [18:24] us means Israel's destruction and [18:26] nothing else." [18:28] One last quote for you, and this is 2026 [18:31] from Hamas's spokesperson themselves. [18:34] Quote, "This is an exceptional phase in [18:36] Palestinian history because of forced [18:38] necessity, the hard circumstances in [18:40] Gaza, we accept this agreement. But I [18:41] think that as Hamas, I can confirm that [18:44] we didn't change our mentality, our goal [18:45] to end the occupation, to continue to [18:48] end the occupation with the Palestinian [18:50] factions because this is our holy [18:53] mission." [18:55] There you have it. [18:56] We should believe the enemy when they [18:58] say they want to destroy the land and [19:00] the people of Israel and anyone else, [19:02] the board of peace, Jared Kushner, [19:04] President Trump, American [19:05] administration, other world [19:07] administration should also believe the [19:09] Arab leaders when they say their goal is [19:11] to destroy Israel and to kill every last [19:14] Jew and to clear the entire state of [19:16] Israel from the river to the sea. So, [19:20] will [19:21] this peace plan, this Gaza roadmap for [19:23] peace, ever be successful in Gaza, [19:26] especially if they just kind of gloss [19:28] over the fact that Hamas is still [19:29] refusing to disarm and Israel is forced [19:31] to pull back from that yellow line and [19:33] give Gaza back to Hamas leadership? Um [19:37] well, I think you know the answer, but [19:38] let me know in the comment section [19:40] below. Um the question is, why are we [19:43] still choosing to believe the Farsiders? [19:45] Why are we still choosing to try and [19:47] force peace plans, especially when they [19:49] involve compromise with Israel, the only [19:52] arbitrators of real peace in the Middle [19:56] East, the ones that are actually putting [19:57] down evil and promoting peace, promoting [20:00] prosperity, promoting uh good economics [20:03] in the land of Israel for Israelis, for [20:05] Jews, for Arabs, [20:08] across the board. Israel is the one that [20:10] has the key to peace because they have [20:13] the God of Israel, the God of Abraham, [20:15] Isaac, and Jacob that has a promise with [20:17] the land of Israel and the people of [20:19] Israel, and we should never ever forget [20:21] that.
