Speaking in an interview with German daily Der Bildand the Times of London just days before his January 20 inauguration, Trump said he intends to put Kushner in charge of the difficult task of arriving at negotiated settlement between the parties, calling the 36-year-old a “natural talent” in the art of deal-making.
“You know what? Jared is such a good lad, he will secure an Israel deal which no one else has managed to get. You know, he’s a natural talent, he is the top, he is a natural talent. You know what I’m talking about – a natural talent. He has an innate ability to make deals, everyone likes him,” Trump told the publications.
Trump also admonished the out going administration of President Barack Obama for his decision not to veto a UN resolution that condemned Israeli settlement construction in the West Bank and east Jerusalem in late December, describing the move as “terrible.”
When asked if he intends to move the American embassy currently situated in Tel Aviv to Jerusalem as he promised during his presidential campaign, Trump said : “I’m not going to comment on that. But we’ll see.”
Can this be from the same anti Semite who hired Bannon, embraces the alt right and refuses to denounce the kkk? Oh well I guess yonasonw and hashomer will have to explain this one .
Massive mistake to have a Jew handle this! gotta be real strong to do the right thing and make it good for Israel.
And besides, Trump shouldn’t get involved in this mess..
Better now focus on his message and work on building America..
and let Israel (and give them the backing to) build them selves.
If he has this right focus, will save him from lots of garbage.
If Trump really loves Jews he shouldn’t give this delicate job to a jew.
We Jews in the USA will be blamed for anything that will go wrong in the Mideast.
Torah observant Jews want nothing to do with the Torah forbidden state of Israel.
Does anyone think that Trump will also dangle Pollard in front of the Israelis, in an effort to get them to negotiate? In other words, if they come to a speedy agreement, Pollard may be allowed to leave for EY.
