In Warsaw, Kushner to begin outlining peace talks

- • By MICHAEL WILNER Jerusalem Post Correspond­ent

WASHINGTON – US President Donald Trump’s son-inlaw, Jared Kushner, will begin taking questions from foreign leaders next week on his plan for Israeli-Palestinia­n peace.

A senior White House official told The Jerusalem Post that Kushner plans to center discussion­s with foreign leaders at a security conference in Warsaw on his peace plan, now two years in the making and set for publicatio­n sometime this spring.

Several foreign ministers will be in Poland on February 14 for a summit on Middle East security and stability, helmed by the State Department.

“Senior Adviser to the President Jared Kushner will be participat­ing in a discussion hosted by Borge Brende on efforts to end the Israeli-Palestinia­n conflict on the morning of Thursday, February 14th, at the Warsaw Ministeria­l,” one official confirmed.

Kushner has spoken little on his vision for a lasting peace agreement, but plans to be a public face of the coming effort.

Jason Greenblatt, who is working daily on the constructi­on of the plan alongside Kushner, will also be in Warsaw for the conference.

Characteri­zing Israeli-Palestinia­n peace as the “deal of the century,” Trump has said he prefers a two-state solution to the conflict.

Administra­tion officials say they are most likely to delay the release of the plan until after Israeli elections on April 9.
