Kushner back to gauge political climate to determine plan rollout…again
(Worthy News) – US presidential adviser Jared Kushner is expected to meet on Monday with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and prime ministerial hopeful Benny Gantz to test the political waters here and determine when it will be possible to release the oft-delayed US peace plan.
Kushner and other members of the US peace team last visited in July in a visit that was also seen as an attempt to gage the Israeli political climate and determine when to release the plan. Nothing has changed since then in terms of certainty about who will be the next prime minister or what the next government will look like.
Kushner, is expected to be accompanied by Treasury Minister Steven Mnuchin, new Mideast negotiator Avi Berkowitz – who is replacing the departing Jason Greenblatt – and the US special envoy on Iran, Brian Hook. The delegation is expected to meet with both Netanyahu and Gantz on Monday. [ Source: Jerusalem Post (Read More…) ]
