Jared Kushner is Coming to Israel. The former first son-in-law and senior White House staffer is on his way to Israel. Calcalist has revealed that Kushner will arrive in the country this week in order to promote his new investment firm Affinity Partners.
Jared Kushner’s new firm Affinity Partners has brought in more than $3 billion in new cash for investments. When it was formed, Affinity Partners declared its intention to invest in Middle East projects.
The fund was one of the projects established by Jared Kushner while his father-in-law Donald Trump was still in office. Kushner was widely criticized for what many said was his abuse of his White House position to further his personal businesses.

Jared Kushner took much of the credit for negotiating the Abraham Accords which brought peace for the first time between Israel and the Arab Gulf State of Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates (UAE). And investors from those two nations, as well as Saudi Arabia. Are said to be involved with Affinity. And, again, it is said that this came about as a result of Kushner’s involvement in the negotiations over the Abraham Accords.
It has been more than a year since Jared’s father in law Donald Trump left the White House after he lost his bid for reelection. And that meant that both he and his model wife who was the first daughter, Ivanka Trump, had to give up there White House jobs. There had been much talk of either of them pursuing a political future, running for Senate from Florida or governor of a state – probably a very small state – somewhere. But in the aftermath of the January 6, 2021 attack on the Capitol building the two seemed to slink away to a new home in Florida.
And Jared Kushner needs to find new avenues for his business interests. Neither he nor Ivanka are really wanted any more in New York, and many people cut ties with the Kushner companies because of Jared’s connection to Donald Trump.
Both Jared Kushner and Ivanka Trump could be facing criminal charges over a number of different allegations. Trump is being investigated for her management of a Trump hotel in Washington and how the hotel allegedly gave illegal discounts for its use to the Trump Presidential campaign in violation of campaign finance laws. And he is also under investigation in New York over alleged improprieties and tax fraud committed by the family’s Trump Foundation over the years.
As for Jared Kushner, his activities while Trump was in office are also under scrutiny.
