In Conversation with Jared Kushner: Israel-Hamas, Paths Forward

Jared Kushner joins the besties to discuss the Abraham Accords, the Israel-Hamas war, and paths toward Middle East peace. Kushner argues that economic incentives — not ideology — are the path to stability. The besties push back on the role of US involvement.

Canon

Kushner describes the Accords as environmental design: instead of trying to change how Israelis and Arabs felt about each other, he changed the economic environment to make cooperation more profitable than conflict.

Highlights

Economic incentives can create peace faster than ideological negotiation
Kushner argues that the Abraham Accords succeeded because they offered economic benefits (trade, tourism, investment) rather than trying to resolve deep ideological disagreements. Make peace profitable and parties will find ways to justify it.
