Trump: Jared Kushner could broker Middle East peace

President-elect Donald Trump said that his son-in-law Jared Kushner could help make peace between the Israelis and Palestinians, according to a tweet by the New York Times’ Washington bureau chief, Elisabeth Bumiller.
Kushner has played a leading part in Trump's campaign and transition, and is said to be considering a role in his White House. He has also reportedly been a key conduit between the Trump campaign and the pro-Israel community, as well as the Israel government.
Trump's daughter Ivanka converted to Orthodox Judaism when she married Kushner, who is said to be a strict observer of his faith.
Trump has spoken repeatedly of his desire to broker Middle East peace, though he has staffed his campaign and transition with skeptics of the peace process.
“I would love to be the one who made peace with Israel and the Palestinians, that would be such a great achievement,” Trump said Tuesday, according to a tweet from the Times’ Mike Grynbaum.
Trump also weighed in on the Syrian civil war, saying, “Syria, we have to solve that problem,” adding that he has a “different view than everybody else,” according to the Times’ Maggie Haberman.
The New York Times staff quoted Trump making these remarks at his meeting with the newspaper's editorial staff on Tuesday.

He'll get that done in the first few months and then be completely bored for the next 3 1/2 years. Kind of like how Iraq was going to be a cakewalk that wouldn't last more than 6 weeks, tops.
They should be able to give him excellent advice.
