President
Donald Trump is sending his son-in-law Jared Kushner to the Middle East soon to
meet with regional leaders and discuss a “path to substantive
Israeli-Palestinian peace talks,” a White House official said on Friday.
U.S.
negotiator Jason Greenblatt and Deputy National Security Adviser Dina Powell
will also be on the trip.
According
to the official, the trip will include meetings with leaders from Saudi Arabia,
the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Jordan, Egypt, Israel and the Palestinian
Authority.
“While the regional talks will play an important role, the President
reaffirms that peace between Israelis and Palestinians can only be negotiated
directly between the two parties.’’
The official said that the U.S. will
continue working closely with the parties to make progress towards that goal.
