“So I am happy to see you and the effort you’re leading on behalf of the [US] President [Donald Trump] with Jason [Greenblatt] and other members of your team,” the prime minister says. “I think this is a sign of the great alliance between us and the great goals that guide us.”

Kushner tells Netanyahu that Trump is “very committed” to help broker a peace deal and thanks the prime minister for working with the White House towards that goal.
