Jared Kushner founds organization to further Israeli normalization deals
The Abraham Accords Institute for Peace will focus on boosting ties between Israel and the Arab countries that signed the Abraham Accords.
Jared Kushner is launching an organization aimed at furthering the historic normalization agreements the Donald Trump administration brokered between Israel and Arab states.
The US-crafted deals known as the Abraham Accords were Trump’s signature foreign policy achievement and saw Israel holding off on annexing large portions of the West Bank in exchange for ties with the Gulf states. Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law and former senior adviser, was among the lead negotiators.
The Abraham Accords Institute for Peace will promote trade and tourism between Israel and the four countries with whom it recently established diplomatic ties: Sudan, Morocco, the United Arab Emirates and Bahrain.
Kushner’s institute will "provide analysis of the benefits of normalization and the potential benefits additional Arab countries can receive if they join the Abraham Accords,” according to a statement quoted by Axios.
