(New York Times) Mark Landler - Senior presidential advisor Jared Kushner said in an interview that recent actions against the Palestinians had not diminished the chances of a peace accord. "There were too many false realities that were created - that people worship - that I think needed to be changed. All we're doing is dealing with things as we see them and not being scared out of doing the right thing. I think, as a result, you have a much higher chance of actually achieving a real peace." Kushner said Palestinian leaders deserved to lose aid after vilifying the U.S. administration. And much of the money that the U.S. poured into UNRWA and other Palestinian causes had been misspent. "Nobody is entitled to America's foreign aid," he said. Aid should be used to further national interests and help those in need. In the case of the Palestinians, the funding had evolved into a decades-long entitlement program with no plan to make them self-reliant. Kushner insisted that the rift between the Palestinians and Washington was not unbridgeable. "In every negotiation I've ever been in, before somebody gets to 'yes,' their answer is 'no.'" 2018-09-14 00:00:00Full Article
