Former president Donald Trump’s son-in-law, Jared Kushner, a former senior White House adviser, has voiced strong opposition to a ceasefire with Hezbollah. Following the assassination of Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah on Friday, Kushner insists that Israel must be allowed to eliminate the group completely, despite calls for a ceasefire from the Biden administration.
“Anyone advocating for a ceasefire in the north is mistaken,” Kushner tweets in a rare public statement. “Israel cannot afford to stop now; they must dismantle the arsenal aimed at them. This opportunity won’t come again.”
His post was quickly retweeted by prominent figures such as former U.S. ambassador to Israel David Friedman, who is likely eyeing a role in a future administration, Wyoming Senator John Barrasso, senior Fox News analyst Brit Hume, and other key Trump-world voices.
Though Kushner has stated that he does not plan to return to the White House if his father-in-law is re-elected, his influence remains significant among Trump supporters.
In his lengthy post on X (formerly Twitter), Kushner describes September 27—the day Israel killed Nasrallah—as “the most important day in the Middle East since the Abraham Accords breakthrough.”
“Iran is now fully exposed,” Kushner asserts. “Their nuclear facilities have not been destroyed, despite weak air defense systems, because Hezbollah has been their deterrent, a loaded gun pointed at Israel for 40 years.”
He goes on to say that Israel now has the chance to neutralize both the Gaza and Hezbollah threats. “It’s unfortunate how we got here, but perhaps there’s a silver lining,” Kushner writes, urging the U.S. to support Israel in finishing the job. He stresses that Hezbollah, responsible for the deaths of hundreds of Americans, poses a global threat.
“The right move now for America is to tell Israel to finish what they’ve started. This fight isn’t only Israel’s.”

I have spent countless hours studying Hezbollah and there is not an expert on earth who thought that what Israel has done to decapitate and degrade them was possible.
This is…
