Israeli affairs researcher Frias Yaghi told Shehab Wire that Jared Kushner's planned visit to Tel Aviv next week "will be of great importance," describing the trip as an attempt to salvage U.S. President Donald Trump's plan. According to Yaghi, the visit is designed to prevent a collision that Netanyahu is banking on ahead of Israeli elections.
The researcher's assessment suggests Trump administration officials are concerned about potential escalation in the region during Israel's election period. Kushner's diplomatic mission appears aimed at constraining Netanyahu's political calculations and preventing the prime minister from pursuing confrontation that could strengthen his electoral position, Yaghi indicated in his analysis of the upcoming visit.
