WASHINGTON _ Jared Kushner, who is leading the Trump administration's policymaking process on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, will travel to Israel with his team later this month to assess the nation's political environment after its latest round of inconclusive elections.
Kushner, President Donald Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser, will meet with Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu as well as Benny Gantz, the leader of Israel's largest opposition party, a source familiar with the matter told McClatchy.
The two Israeli leaders are engaged in an intense dispute over the formulation of Israel's next government, after neither man succeeded in winning a clear majority bloc in the Sept. 17 election.
