Having relatives that survived the holocaust or being an Orthdox Jew does not make you a savvy political powerhouse that can negotiate peace...uh..don’t you think there are plenty of people that fit that category that have already tried?
Kushner is a babe in the woods in this White House.
It inoculates you from being called naive re the threats to Israel and what are the consequences of a bad deal. Bibi has known him from childhood. Having these personal connections are useful.

He like Trump is an outsider. He is not part of the sclerotic GOPe and the political class. Why not give Kushner and Trump a chance to broker a deal? What do we have to lose? What we do know is that Israel will not negotiate away its very survival.
