Yep, he wants the rights to own gaza

Cause it was clickbait
In his reply, Kushner told Engel that "these are some of the hardest problem sets in the world, and I think that you have to try and you have to bring to it. Obviously, Steve and I bring different approaches to these things, but we work very well together as partners. But we’re not bringing our approaches. We’re really representing President Trump, and we’re doing it the way that he wants to see these things done."
Didn't seem heated at all.
"Jared Kushner was heated over hot coals today,"
Protesters grew frustrated today as Mr. Kushner refused to answer any questions lobbed his way. Protestors inquired about the Epstein files, renaming of their home states and the status of Ukraine but all Mr. Kushner did was scream in response, he is quoted saying "please my flesh is melting off, I'll do anything to make it stop. God please." Comments online note Kushner's responses were immature and ill informed.
No he was not. It was a staged sound bite.
The reporter got his bite.
Kushner fed the base its daily dose of outrage.
Fake, fake, fake.
Yup

Well shit, I’ll take it.
