jared kushner, who has no diplomatic experience, who has no military experience, who has, as far as we know, no experience in this area whatsoever. where does that leave the administration when it s juggling, frankly, so many problems on the foreign front. how difficult this issue is when you throw the whole apparatus at it. several have aspired to get a peace agreement and have failed. i doubt sending his son-in-law is going to succeed. you ve seen that more wildly through the middle east, particularly with the dispute between the saudis and qatar right now where the if we had an america first approach, what we d want is the saudis and qatars to play nice in the sandbox. but trump, for whatever reason,
