White House adviser Jared Kushner today kicked off a renewed push by the Trump administration to restart Mideast peace talks amid signs of growing Palestinian impatience with a lack of progress so far.
Kushner, who is President Donald Trump’s son-in-law, was holding separate talks with the Israeli and Palestinian leaders, seeking to breathe life into a White House effort that appears to have gotten off to a slow start.
That effort has been further complicated by domestic troubles for Trump, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas.
After initially welcoming the election of Trump,
the Palestinians have expressed increasing frustration with
what they say is a failure by the US president to offer a clear
vision for peace.
