Kushner says terror fears, not Israel, hurting Palestinian economy
US presidential adviser Jared Kushner says Israel is not responsible for all Palestinian hardships, as Ramallah faces a crippling financial crisis.
“Israel is not the cause of all the suffering of the Palestinian people,” Kushner, US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser, tells the Future Investment Initiative conference in the Saudi capital Riyadh.
“If you want to go and invest in the West Bank or Gaza, the issue that’s holding you back is the fear of terrorism and that your investment could be destroyed.”
