Jared Kushner Breaks the Diplomatic Mold in Middle East Ceasefire Deal

Jared Kushner isn’t a career diplomat and that’s exactly why he was able to do what the so-called experts failed to accomplish for over five decades.

Appearing on 60 Minutes Sunday night, Kushner laid out the behind-the-scenes reality of the recent Gaza ceasefire deal. Alongside U.S. Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, Kushner gave a rare, unfiltered glimpse into the inner workings of a successful negotiation one that cut through the tired globalist playbook and finally delivered results.

“We just wanted the hostages out,” Kushner said. “We wanted a real ceasefire. We wanted to get humanitarian aid in. But first, we had to work around 50 years of stupid word games.”

That’s not diplomatic speak. That’s real talk. And it’s exactly what the world needs more of.

Kushner and Witkoff didn’t rely on empty slogans or UN resolutions that go nowhere. Instead, they approached the situation like seasoned real estate dealmakers because that’s what they are. And unlike the political elites who’ve been fumbling this region for generations, Kushner and Witkoff used their relationships, business instincts, and deep understanding of the region to push a meaningful agreement across the finish line.

Here’s what made their approach different:

• Real relationships, not bureaucratic nonsense. “What people call conflicts of interests,” Kushner said, “Steve and I call experience and trusted relationships.” That’s a subtle rebuke to the Washington establishment that values titles over trust.

• Straight talk over virtue signaling. Rather than sugarcoating the problem, Kushner identified the real obstacle: entrenched, ineffective diplomacy obsessed with language games.

• Focus on results, not ideology. The objective wasn’t political points—it was rescuing hostages and restoring calm.

As Witkoff put it, after the deal was signed, representatives from Israel, Qatar, Turkey, and Egypt hugged each other. A moment of real unity that mainstream media barely touched. Why? Because it didn’t fit the narrative that only bureaucrats and think tanks can bring peace.

This ceasefire comes two years after the 2023 war between Israel and Hamas began. Under Joe Biden’s weak leadership, the Middle East descended into chaos yet it was President Trump’s team that once again stepped up to deliver a breakthrough. Not with platitudes, but with real leverage and hard-earned trust.

The same Jared Kushner who brokered the historic Abraham Accords is proving again that peace is possible when you're not afraid to offend the global elite or ruffle a few feathers at Foggy Bottom.

Meanwhile, the Biden State Department continues to chase its tail, caught up in the same useless web of identity politics and climate pandering that has defined its every move. Kushner’s remarks were a quiet but powerful indictment of this broken system.

The next time you hear someone on CNN talk about the “complexity” of the Middle East, remember: it’s only complex if you’re trying to protect your career. If you’re trying to get something done, like Kushner did, it turns out the path is surprisingly simple.

And no, he doesn’t need a Nobel Peace Prize to prove it.
