Kushner to discuss his plans for Mideast peace

In rare public remarks, Kushner to discuss peace push at DC confab
Trump's senior adviser will speak about efforts to resume Israeli-Palestinian talks

WASHINGT0N — US President Donald Trump’s senior adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner will make a rare public appearance on Sunday, when he partakes in a keynote conversation at the Brookings Institution’s annual Saban Forum in Washington, D.C.

Kushner, 36, has been tasked by his father-in-law to lead the White House’s efforts toward forging an Israeli-Palestinian peace accord.

He will discuss those efforts and the administration’s broader Middle East approach ...

Despite Kushner’s holding such a prominent role in the Trump White House, he shies away from speaking publicly and has generally refrained from providing details on his team’s attempts to renew negotiations between the sides.

In July, he admitted that a peace deal might not be possible, in a leaked conversation with congressional interns.

“What do we offer that’s unique? I don’t know,” Kushner said in a recording obtained by Wired magazine.

A series of reports over the last weekend indicated that Kushner’s once massive White House portfolio was shrinking and that he would make fewer public appearances.

In just 10 months, Jared has already achieved peace in the middle east. They love Trump over there. They are celebrating how happy they are and how they are winning. Except sometimes, they get tired of winning. (sarcasm)

Much less sell a middle east peace deal.

The whole concept is just as stupid as everything else the trumps do.

He has exactly the qualifications of his father-in-law. So, obviously, Mideast peace is on the bag.
