On the 15th (local time), Kushner said in an interview with Fox News, "Some people said that if President Trump was elected, he would start World War III, but what we are witnessing now is not World War III, but a breakthrough in Middle East peace for the first time in 26 years."

He noted that President Trump's unconventional diplomatic approach contributed to achieving tangible peace, contrary to some people's expectations.

On the same day, at the White House South Lawn, President Trump presided over the signing of the 'Abraham Accords' with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, UAE Foreign Minister Sheikh Abdullah bin Zayed Al Nahyan, and Bahraini Foreign Minister Abdullatif bin Rashid Al Zayani. Named after Abraham, the common ancestor of Judaism, Islam, and Christianity, the agreement normalizes diplomatic relations among the three countries.

Kushner, President Trump's son-in-law, has been working on Middle East peace plans while at the White House. Regarding the Abraham Accords, he traveled to various Middle Eastern countries to persuade their leaders. He expressed his thoughts on the signing, saying, "This agreement will truly be a new turning point," and "Personally, it is an honor to participate in such negotiations and witness the signing ceremony at the White House."

He added, "The White House has reviewed past attempts at Middle East peace efforts and why they failed," and said, "President Trump said, 'Let's try it differently this time.'"

Kushner introduced, "This time, instead of solving the Israel-Palestine conflict or creating a cure-all, we presented genuine and sincere measures. Israel showed interest, but Palestinian leaders did not."

Kushner also mentioned the possibility of negotiations with Iran. He said, "Leaders from Israel and the Arab world gathered to sign the peace agreement," and "Such events make us realize that anything is possible." He continued, "We want Iran to stop resisting progress and modernize its society," and "If they grant rights and freedoms to their citizens and aim to create a better future for the next generation, we can help."
