Jared Kushner, US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, and White House senior adviser, is on his way to the Middle East to promote the economic portion of a long-awaited United States plan for peace between Israel and Palestine.
Accompanied by US Middle East envoy, Jason Greenblatt, and US envoy on Iran, Brian Hook, Kushner plans stops in Oman, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and Qatar.
During their week-long trip, the White House team will gauge the level of support for the economic part of Trump’s "deal of the century", the Reuters news agency reported earlier in February.
Seeking regional support for the economic plan, expected to include international funding proposals for the impoverished Gaza Strip, is a step on the way to the eventual unveiling of Trump’s sweeping proposals to resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
Al Jazeera’s senior political analyst Marwan Bishara discusses whether Kushner’s close ties to Israel will influence the outcome of his plan for the region.
