Jared Kushner has resurfaced in the political spotlight just days before Donald Trump’s high-profile Middle East trip. CNN reports that Kushner is once again advising Trump’s administration behind the scenes, specifically on negotiations with Arab leaders. Though not officially joining Trump’s traveling party, Kushner is actively communicating with key figures in Saudi Arabia and other Gulf states as part of an effort to expand the Abraham Accords, the normalization initiative between Israel and multiple Arab countries that Kushner originally helped broker. Sources familiar with the talks say Kushner’s primary goal is persuading Saudi Arabia to normalize relations with Israel, but current expectations are that other Arab nations might sign first. One senior Trump official told CNN that Kushner is considered “an expert when it comes to the Middle East,” and emphasized that his connections with both Arab and Israeli leaders remain unparalleled.
Trump’s Middle East tour, which ran from May 13 to May 16 and included stops in Saudi Arabia, Qatar, and the UAE, was largely aimed at securing lucrative trade and investment agreements, with the President touting potential deals worth up to $4 trillion, according to coverage from ABC News and Wikipedia’s summary of the trip. The negotiation agenda also touched on lifting sanctions in Syria and significant regional security concerns. Notably, the trip excluded Israel, though Trump administration envoys met with Israeli officials separately. Kushner’s ongoing business interests in the Middle East—including reported weekly conversations with the Saudi crown prince and continued financial ties through his investment firm—have reignited longstanding ethical debates, particularly given recent remarks about the “value” of Gaza’s coastline, as reported by The New Republic.
Adding another twist to the Kushner family story, Charles Kushner—Jared’s father—made headlines after being confirmed as the US ambassador to France and Monaco on May 19. The confirmation followed a tight 51-45 Senate vote, with only one Democrat, Cory Booker, supporting the nomination. Charles Kushner’s past, marked by a federal conviction for tax evasion, illegal campaign contributions, and witness tampering, drew significant media attention and criticism, as reported by People magazine. Despite the controversy, the Kushner family profile is arguably at its highest in years, with renewed focus on their influence in both US foreign policy and diplomatic circles.
On the public front, Jared and Ivanka have kept a relatively low profile, but they were reportedly photographed together in early May during a private outing, according to a recent Instagram post by People Magazine. Social media chatter around Jared Kushner has mostly centered on his renewed influence in the White House and the broader implications of his family’s deepening entanglements at the intersection of politics and global business. As speculation continues regarding the true motives behind Kushner’s return as a key Middle East adviser, questions about financial self-interest and possible plans for Gaza real estate continue to swirl, but so far, no concrete evidence has emerged to clarify these intentions.
