In his new memoir “Breaking History”, published on August 23 by Broadside Books, Jared Kushner, son-in-law and senior advisor to former US President Donald Trump recounts his visit to Morocco and his meeting with King Mohammed VI.
Kushner spoke out about what happened behind closed doors during the Trump presidency, including debates in the Oval Office, double-crosses at the United Nations, investigations, false accusations, unprecedented results on trade and COVID-19 vaccines.
He revealed some scenes of the Moroccan-Israeli agreement on the normalization of diplomatic relations, in parallel with Washington’s recognition of the Western Sahara, which he qualified as “the most significant diplomatic breakthrough in 50 years and a successful negotiation of the Abraham Accords.”
He described Morocco as a “stable country that will guarantee the security of the region and prevent the deployment of terrorist groups such as Daesh or Boko Haram.”
He also spoke of his meeting with King Mohammed VI, a “man widely appreciated by his people.”
Kushner says that the royal residence in Rabat gave him a warm welcome during his visit, which he did not expect since he was afraid of “a cold response as a result of aggressive lobbying by Donald Trump to win the bid for the 2026 FIFA World Cup against Rabat.”
Morocco normalized diplomatic relations with Israel in December 2020 in exchange for US recognition of Morocco’s sovereignty over the Sahara. Jared Kushner explained that their “main blockage came from Republican Senator James Inhofe, former chairman of the Armed Services Committee,” known for his ‘pro-separatists’ positions.”
A blockage that finally led to a “compromise on issues of American domestic policy, found between the White House and the elected official, allowing the situation to be unlocked.”
Trump’s son in law unveiled that “Benyamin Netanyahu did not want a liaison office but wanted the opening of an Israeli embassy in Morocco. A proposal that Bourita categorically refused, to the point of threatening to completely cancel the agreement.”
