White House Senior Advisor Jared Kushner in a press briefing says that Israel agreed to a map, agreed to a Palestinian state in the framework of Trump's peace plan

Kushner says that as Israel came closer to applying sovereignty to parts of the WB, UAE thought that normalization could be a way to stave that off.

"The ball is really in the Palestinians' court now," Kushner says

Kusher: We're not going to chase the Palestinian leadership. We reached out to them, said application of Israeli sovereignty is on hold.

Kushner says he's optimistic about the Middle East and there will likely be more diplomatic breakthroughs in the coming months

Multiple Arab news outlets asking Kushner how he can guarantee Israel won't make sovereignty moves, and Kushner's response is that Trump trusts Israel.

Kushner denies putting pressure on Gulf States to normalize ties, says they're trying to build trust between Israel and the countries with which it has secret ties

Kushner: For last the 70 years leaders in the region used Israel to divert attn of their publics away from their own shortcomings at home...People are realizing there is instability, threats because of Iran. No Israeli missiles landed in KSA, UAE there were Iranian missiles.

Not one Israeli media outlet was chosen to ask a question.
