Jared Kushner Speaks at Embassy Opening: The ‘Journey to Peace’ Begins With America ‘Recognizing the Truth’ (Mediaite)

Jared Kushner,  presidential advisor and son-in-law to President Donald Trump, delivered remarks Monday morning at the opening of the new U.S. embassy in Jerusalem — saying the “journey to peace” begins with a “strong America” that “recognizes the truth.”

In an approximately 10-minute long address, Kushner also spoke about the recently announced U.S. withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal.

“Last week President Trump acknowledged another truth and kept another promise. He announced his intention to exit the dangerous, flawed and one-sided Iran deal,” Kushner said to a standing ovation. “Iran’s aggression threatens many peace-loving citizens throughout the region and the entire world from Israel to Jordan to Egypt to Saudi Arabia and beyond, many leaders are fighting to modernize their countries and create better lives for their people,” he added.
