Description | Ahead of the Israeli election in March 2020, then-President Trump wanted to publicly endorse former Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s main political rival Benny Gantz, Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law and then-senior adviser at the White House, writes in his new book.
Why it matters: Kushner's remarks are further evidence of how bad the relationship between the former U.S. president and the former Israeli prime minister was at the time.
They also show how enthusiastic Trump was about Gantz after their Oval Office meeting on Jan. 27, 2020, a day before Trump released his peace plan for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. |
