Kushner urged the world to stop ‘scapegoating Israel’

Jerusalem (QNN)- In a joint press briefing with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, White House Senior Adviser Jared Kushner called for lasting Middle East peace, urging the world to stop scapegoating Israel.

Kushner stated, “Tomorrow we will very proudly advance the Abraham Accords with the first direct commercial flight on El Al from Israel to Morocco.”

He will leave for Morocco with an Israeli delegation on Tuesday to discuss in detail Israel’s normalization deal with Morocco.

“This will bring about a whole set of new opportunities for Northern Africa and the entire Middle East,” he said.

“As this new Middle East moves forward, I hope that all countries will focus on pursuing common interests for the benefits of their citizens instead of being held back by stale thinking and old conflicts.”

Kushner added, “Scapegoating, antisemitism and isolating Israel have led to destructive behavior that has held the world back for far too long.”

“I urge the world as it goes forward to take the time to understand Israel’s perspective and to ask yourself if you would make the compromises that Israel has been asked to make if you were in the prime minister’s shoes,” Kushner said.

Morocco is the fourth Arab country to normalize ties with Israel following the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Sudan.

“Jerusalem is not the cause of the problem; it is the core of the solution,” Kushner said in a tree-planting ceremony at the Grove of Nations..

Netanyahu thanked Kushner for his efforts on behalf of Israel and regional peace and said a garden of peace had been named for him.

“In planting this garden, we’ll make sure that future generations know what your contribution has been,” Netanyahu said.

“I want to express my appreciation.. the young teenager I met years ago in your house has helped change the reality of the region.”
