  "summary": "Jared Kushner, a special adviser to US President Donald Trump, has said that the US administration used Israel's growing diplomatic isolation following a failed strike in Doha, Qatar, to push the Israeli government toward a Gaza agreement. According to Kushner, the Israeli operation in Doha was \"a terrible thing\" and \"unsuccessful as a military operation\", leading to Israel being \"globally isolated\".\n\nThe Jerusalem Post reports that Kushner described the strike as \"terrible\" and said the Trump administration saw a diplomatic opportunity in the crisis, using the new dynamic to pressure Israel into a deal. Kushner claimed that the pressure ultimately paid off, saying \"it turned out to be great for them\" and \"great for the people of Gaza, because now we have a new government there\".\n\nKushner's comments were met with a response from Netanyahu's Likud party, which hit back at his remarks, saying the attack on a Hamas headquarters was a decisive factor in getting hostages out. The party also noted that the Prime Minister had previously apologized to Qatar for the strike, according to The Times of Israel.",
