White House Official: Kushner Never Said Settlement Freeze Will Topple Netanyahu

A senior White House official strongly denied on Saturday a report in Arab newspaper al-Hayat which said that Jared Kushner, President Trump‘s son-in-law and senior adviser, told Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas that Israel will not be asked to freeze settlement building because that could lead to a breakdown of Benjamin Netanyahu‘s government.

„This is nonsense. This comment was never made,“ the senior official told Haaretz.
