Sending Kushner and Witkoff to Pakistan a very bad move.
At a moment when the world is trapped in a dangerous deadlock with Iran—escalated by the policies of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s far-right government and carrying grave consequences for the United States and global stability—the choice of envoys matters enormously.
Serious nuclear diplomacy demands deep expertise, regional knowledge, and credibility with seasoned negotiators. Sending figures whose backgrounds lie primarily in real estate and political proximity rather than in arms control, nonproliferation, or Middle East diplomacy risks trivializing a crisis that could spiral into wider conflict.
Negotiations over nuclear issues are among the most complex and consequential undertakings in international relations. They require technical mastery, strategic patience, and an understanding of decades of precedent. Treating such talks as if they were business transactions undermines both the process and the stakes involved.
The American public—and the world—deserve diplomacy led by experienced professionals capable of navigating the intricacies of nuclear negotiations, not envoys selected for proximity to the executive branch.
