Kushner launches foundation to support new relations between Arab countries and Israel – Erm News

Former US President Donald Trump’s adviser and son-in-law Jared Kushner is working to launch a new institution to strengthen relations between four Arab countries and Israel after their normalization under deals he helped secure during his mandate.

Kushner began steps to establish the “Abrahamic Peace Accord Institute” to work on deepening the agreements Israel made last year with the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan and the United Arab Emirates. Morocco.

Kushner, the husband of Ivanka, daughter of the former US president, writes a book about her experience helping to make the deals.

He will be joined in the new institution by former US envoy Avi Berkowitz and the ambassadors of Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Israel to the United States.

The institute issued a statement in which it mentioned the name of Israeli-American businessman Haim Saban as a contributor to the project. The institute describes itself as a non-partisan institution.

He added that the founders “intend to include other Democrats in the foundation, as well as international advisers from the region.”

The Palestinians had opposed the agreements made by Arab countries with Israel because they say they violate promises made by Arabs not to make peace until Israel withdraws from the occupied territories.

US President Joe Biden, a Democrat who defeated Republican Trump in the presidential election last November, said he aimed to consolidate and expand the agreements and reiterated his position on Tuesday in a phone call to the Crown Prince from Abu Dhabi.
