“I’ve read 25 books” on the Middle East, Jared Kushner, US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, said in a 2020 interview. Such intellectual bravado wouldn’t matter if it weren’t for the fact that Kushner served as the president’s Middle East adviser, and was essentially the main architect of Trump’s policies in the Middle East.
It goes without saying that Trump’s policies in the region were a failure and, in fact, fuelled the events that followed his departure, leading to the genocidal war in Gaza.
Trump’s successor didn’t fare any better, as the Joe Biden administration largely adhered to Trump’s major mistakes and ultimately sustained the Israeli genocide, which killed and wounded— per the latest estimates — over 160,000.
