"Congratulations to Jared Kushner on your Nobel Peace Prize nomination. Well deserved for helping to broker the historic Middle East Abraham accords! God Bless the Trump administration for these peace deals.They said it couldn't be done. They were wrong. As usual," @wendi1860 wrote.
Kushner felt honored after learning about the nomination. In a statement to People, he recalled how he brokered peace agreements between Israel and the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco — a first in over 25 years.
"Thanks to these agreements the region is on a new trajectory that will improve the lives of millions of Israelis and Arabs. Thank you to President Trump and the courageous leaders in the region for making this breakthrough possible," he said.
