US's Kushner: Peace deal to benefit both sides in Mideast conflict

None

White House senior adviser Jared Kushner will say on Monday at the opening ceremony for the US Embassy in Jerusalem that it is possible for both sides in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to gain more than they give in any peace deal.

 

Kushner, the US envoy to the Middle East and President Donald Trump's son-in-law, was to speak amid tensions over Trump's decision to move the embassy to Jerusalem from Tel Aviv.

 

The Trump administration has nearly completed a long-awaited Israeli-Palestinian peace plan but is still undecided on how and when to roll it out, given Palestinian anger at Trump's embassy move.

 

"Jerusalem must remain a city that brings people of all faiths together," he will say according to speech excerpts seen by Reuters.
