White House senior adviser Jared Kushner says that the Palestinians deserve 'self-determination'. but stopped short of backing Palestinian statehood. WATCH NOW.
US President Donald Trump's son-in-law and adviser Jared Kushner has suggested in an interview that the Palestinians are not ready to govern themselves ahead of the expected release of his peace plan.
Speaking to US news site Axios, Kushner also said he was not concerned over whether the Palestinians do not trust him since they will base their decisions on whether the plan will improve their lives. "The hope is, is that over time, they can become capable of governing," Kushner said when asked if he believes the Palestinians can govern themselves without Israeli interference.
According to excerpts from the interview published late Sunday on the Axios website, Kushner said the Palestinians"need to have a fair judicial system... freedom of press, freedom of expression, tolerance for all religions" before the Palestinian territories can become"investable".
