Jared Kushner claims Jews 'safer' in Saudi Arabia after kingdom gives him $2 billion

Jared Kushner, former President Donald Trump's son-in-law, argued on Sunday that Jews were "safer" in Saudi Arabia than they are in the United States.

Kushner made the remarks on Fox News after the Saudis invested $2 billion in his business.

"Yeah, so it was a very interesting time to be over there, and I've been there many times before," Kushner said following a trip to the kingdom. "One of the ironies is that as an American Jew, you're safer in Saudi Arabia right now than you are on a college campus like Columbia University."

"I spoke at the conference, they allowed me to speak freely, and what I sensed there was that there's obviously a very big disgust at what happened with this tremendous terrorist attack perpetrated by Hamas," he added.

Following his time in the Trump administration, The New York Timesreported that Kushner's equity firm had received $2 billion from Saudi Arabia.
