Kushner Slams Palestinians, Critics of UAE-Israel Peace Deal


(Arab News-Saudi Arabia) Ray Hanania - In a teleconference briefing on Monday, senior U.S. presidential advisor Jared Kushner strongly denounced the Palestinians and other critics of the UAE-Israel peace deal. The Palestinians "have the same talking points that their attack dogs say. Quite frankly I feel the world has started to block out the noise that comes out of there because it's so predictable and it's so illogical." Kushner said President Trump is "ready to engage at any time" with the Palestinians to resolve the conflict, but warned: "We aren't going to chase the Palestinian leadership." Kushner said Palestinian "credibility is at an all-time low....Even people who want to help the Palestinians, those people are seeing you can't help people who don't want to help themselves. There's a lot of frustration in the region with the Palestinian leadership. It's because they're either stuck in the past, or they don't want to make peace....I don't see how their current actions are leading to the Palestinian people having a better life."
