Jared Kushner is heading to a two-day conference in Bahrain where he will be attempting to gain support for the Trump administration’s Israel/Palestinian peace plan. However, neither Israel nor the Palestinian Authority will be attending the meeting. Kushner will be presenting only economic proposals of support for Palestinians, which Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas said “is unacceptable before the political situation is discussed.” Kushner recently gave a wide-ranging interview to Axios. In answer to one question, Kushner replied, “All human beings have the right to live in a way that gives them the opportunity to live in peace and to live harmoniously with each other.” What was the question he gave that response to?

A. How do you feel about the placing of Mexican and Central American children in cages in the United States border detention centers?
B. You are about to unveil a proposed $50 million economic support plan for Palestinians. But what do you believe in regard to the Palestinian desire for an independent state?
C. Do you believe the Jewish people have a God-given right to what the Israeli government calls Judea and Samaria and what others call the West Bank?
D. One of your responsibilities is as the Trump administration liaison to China. What is your response to the demonstrations in Hong Kong, where the people are protesting against China’s proposed law allowing for the extradition of Hong Kong residents to mainland China?
E. You have been criticized for getting security clearance from your father-in-law even though the intelligence services objected. It’s been reported that you have huge financial dealings with wealthy foreigners that call into question your objectivity in many negotiations. You undermined Governor Chris Christie in his efforts to work with President Trump as revenge for his prosecution of your father. There are multiple reports of conflicts-of-interest based on your family’s real estate business, including questionable loans, problematic investors, and controversial business practices. You attended the meeting at Trump Tower that Donald Trump Jr. set up to obtain dirt on Hillary Clinton from the Russians. You met with the Russian ambassador and a Russian banker during the transition but did not disclose these meetings for months. You are closely linked to Saudi Crown Prince Mohammad bin Salman, and some say that this is the reason that we have not held Saudi Arabia accountable for the murder of the Saudi journalist Jamal Khashoggi. And John Oliver has referred to you as “Diminutive Nothing Boy 1” in the Mueller report. How do you respond to these criticisms?
