WASHINGTON - White House senior adviser Jared Kushner said on Thursday he hopes Israel will take a hard look at President Donald Trump’s upcoming Middle East peace proposal before proceeding with any plan to annex West Bank settlements.
He said the issue would be discussed with the Israeli government when Netanyahu forms a governing coalition. The Palestinians have refused to talk to the U.S. side since Trump decided to move the U.S. Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem and declare Jerusalem the capital of Israel. Kushner, who is married to Trump’s daughter Ivanka, is expected to unveil his proposals in June after the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan.
Trump has relied heavily on the 38-year-old Kushner, who helped develop prison reform legislation and a new U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade deal, and is also working on a U.S. immigration proposal. On Thursday night, he called on critics to hold their fire until they are able to see the plan in its entirety.
