The Financial Times reports that Jared Kushner, son-in-law of US President-elect Donald Trump, will not return to the White House.

Kushner could advise on Middle East policy, the report says, citing people familiar with the matter.

Kushner was a senior advisor to Trump in his first term and played a significant role in negotiating the Abraham Accords, which normalized relations between Israel and several Arab nations, including the United Arab Emirates and Morocco.
