Jared Kushner, senior advisor to his father-in-law, President Donald Trump, is the keynote interviewee at the Saban Forum 2017, titled “America First” and the Middle East.
The Saban Forum, hosted at the Center for Middle East Policy at Brookings, featured a video message from Prime Minister of Israel Benjamin Netanyahu and conversations with Ayelet Shaked, Israeli minister of justice, John R. Allen, Brookings president, several U.S. senators and other current and former Israeli and American officials.

In this interview, Kushner speaks with the forum’s chairman Haim Saban about Trump’s expected announcement to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of the State of Israel.
