President Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner, who is also Trump’s top adviser on the Middle East, says the Trump administration will soon roll out its plan for peace between Israelis and Palestinians. Kushner made the comments during an interview with the newspaper Al-Quds during his multi-nation trip to the Middle East. In the interview, he also blamed Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas for the situation in Gaza, where the Israeli military has launched a bloody crackdown on Gaza’s nonviolent protests, killing at least 124 Palestinians and wounding 14,000 more. This is chief Palestinian negotiator Saeb Erekat responding to Kushner’s comments.

Saeb Erekat: “Mr. Kushner’s interview today in Al-Quds newspaper further clarified that the United States administration of President Trump has actually moved from the squares of negotiations to the squares of dictations. They are determined to dictate a solution. They walked away from the negotiating table.”
