Trump To Send Jared Kushner And Envoy To Middle East For Israeli-Palestinian Peace Talks

Kushner was charged with helping to broker a deal between Israelis and Palestinians after Trump took office.

President Donald Trump is sending his son-in-law Jared Kushner and negotiator Jason Greenblatt to the Middle East soon to meet regional leaders and discuss a “path to substantive Israeli-Palestinian peace talks,” a White House official said on Friday.

Deputy national security adviser Dina Powell will also be on the trip, which will include meetings with leaders from Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Jordan, Egypt, Israel and the Palestinian Authority, the official said.

This isn't going to end well.
