"President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, dove into details on Sunday's "60 Minutes" about negotiating the Gaza ceasefire deal and peace, following decades of "stupid word games" in the region.

Kushner spoke alongside U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff about their role in helping to accomplish the deal between Israel and Hamas after their two-year war. Host Lesley Stahl described the two as relying on the "intensely personal techniques of real estate dealmakers" which included "dangling presidential promises, protections or punishments" as opposed to standard diplomatic techniques.

President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, dove into details on Sunday's "60 Minutes" about negotiating the Gaza ceasefire deal and peace, following decades of "stupid word games" in the region.

Kushner spoke alongside U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff about their role in helping to accomplish the deal between Israel and Hamas after their two-year war. Host Lesley Stahl described the two as relying on the "intensely personal techniques of real estate dealmakers" which included "dangling presidential promises, protections or punishments" as opposed to standard diplomatic techniques.

Kushner told Stahl that the issues were ultimately "simple," with the difficulty coming from having to play the "stupid word games" brought upon by diplomats.

‘60 MINUTES’ HOST RIPPED FOR ASKING EX-HOSTAGE IF HAMAS STARVED HIM BECAUSE THEY DIDN’T HAVE ENOUGH FOOD

"We wanted the hostages to come out," Kushner said. "We wanted a real ceasefire that both sides would respect. We needed a way to bring humanitarian aid into the people. And then we had to write all these complex words to deal with the 50 years of stupid word games that everyone in that region is so used to playing. Both sides wanted the objective. And we just needed to find a way to help everyone get there."

During the interview, Stahl pressed Kushner and Witkoff about their past business deals with Middle East nations and whether they represented a conflict of interest.

"What people call conflicts of interests, Steve and I call experience and trusted relationships that we have throughout the world," Kushner said. "If Steve and I didn't have these deep relationships, the deal we were able to get done, that freed these hostages would not have occurred. We have trusted relationships in the Arab world and even in Israel, where we've both done business in the past. But that means they trust us. We understand their cultures. We understand how they work. And we're able to use that knowledge and skill set to try to do things that advance the world."

Witkoff also confirmed to Stahl that Israelis and Qataris literally hugged each other after a deal was made.

"I thought to myself, ‘I wish the world could've seen it,’" Witkoff said. "I wish people could see people from Qatar hugging people from Israel. And by the way, it happened with the Turks too, and it happened with the Egyptians, which sort of, I don't know, makes you feel a whole lot better about what the possibilities are for the world."

Israel and Hamas agreed to a ceasefire deal on Oct. 8, about two years after the war began in 2023.

When there were breaches of the agreement Trump sent Vance to Egypt and Witkoff and Kushner to Jerusalem to ensure breaches are dealt with it immediately. The frst eaction was to point out the Israeli's must ensure their reactions are proportional and not country wide, and it is likey that the next phase of the peace process will be dealt with immediately by -

1. despatching a stabilization Force to Gaza; and
2. Establishment of an Interim Adminsitration Body to govern in teh territory in the immediate future,

Vance is likey to be back in Washington by Friday to report to him the progress made in Egypt and Trump will spend Friday to report to the NATO eaders what ws discussed in Budapest and Cairo. If Trump is meeting Putin next week in Budapest - he would report bck to the NATO leadership and I think he will use a similar method to get woldwide support for the GAZA

Host Lesley Stahl described the two as relying on the "intensely personal techniques of real estate dealmakers" which included "dangling presidential promises, protections or punishments" as opposed to standard diplomatic techniques.

It is a broken record but liberalism is all about submission. One favoured strategy is to come up with unbelievable statements and force people to accept them as their perspective. Once it is done, one knows people have submitted.

The statement in bold is incredible in the basic meaning. It can not be believed. Intensely personal techniques of loan sharks, maybe...
