The Saban Forum is a US-Israeli dialogue, hosted by the Brookings Institution, a nonprofit public policy organization.
Kushner addresses The Saban Forum
Kushner said the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is one that is "personal" to United States President Donald Trump and said the administration is avoiding setting a timeframe to increase the probability of achieving as much as possible.
He declined to comment on the potential move of the US Embassy to Jerusalem, saying that Trump was still making a decision and, when the decision has been made, Trump would want to tell the public himself.
Earlier, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu addressed the forum via video, warning against the dangers of the Iranian regime.
