'Can't turn a battleship around overnight': Jared Kushner downplays Saudi silence on Israel-UAE deal
"I do think that we have other countries that are very interested in moving forward," Kushner told CNBC's Hadley Gamble on Friday, referring to diplomatic ties with Israel.
Saudi Arabia, a close U.S. ally and a hugely influential power when it comes to regional policy toward Israel, has remained eerily quiet on news of the accord. When pressed on Saudi Arabia's silence following the announcement of the deal, Kushner replied: "We just had the first peace agreement in 26 years and now you're saying: 'Well, we want to get somebody else on board right away'." In 1994, Israel and Jordan agreed a peace deal.
