Jared Kushner: “Peace Envoy” & Funder of Illegal Israeli Squatters in Palestine
While Jared Kushner is working on a peace deal between the Israelis and the Palestinians, the Kushner Companies Charitable Foundation is funding a controversial West Bank settlement.
The charitable fund made a donation of at least $18,000 at the “
Master Builders” level to American Friends of Bet El Yeshiva Center, according to a
donor book distributed at the group’s annual gala Sunday evening.
Israeli settlements in the West Bank, which eat away at any future Palestinian state, are one of the main obstacles to a two-state solution. Bet El, which was built on
private Palestinian land seized by the Israeli military in the 1970s, is considered one of the most
politically radical settlements.
Guests posed for pictures with a smiling John Bolton, the former Bush administration ambassador to the United Nations. A short film set to action-movie music showed high-school-age youth training in the settlement’s military academy.
