JARED KUSHNER NOMINATED FOR NOBEL PEACE PRIZE

Mon 01 February 2021:

Former President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and ex-White House senior advisor Jared Kushner and his deputy, Avi Berkowitz has been nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize for their role in a series of normalisation agreements between Israel and four Arab nations.

The duo was selected by a US attorney named Alan Dershowitz for their efforts in brokering peace among the Gulf nations and normalising ties between the UAE and Israel with Abraham Accords agreement.

According to sources of Fox News, Kushner, the enabler of peace agreements between Israel, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan and Morocco told the network that peace deals were extremely hard and there were people in Washington who were never able to work on foreign transactions for over 30 to 40 years.

Kushner, in a White House ceremony, was joined by Bahrain and the UAE along with his Middle East envoy Berkowitz to sign the diplomatic pacts with Israel. Middle East peace agreements were a milestone, according to US broadcasters, that was a ‘massive change’ for the conflict-ridden region.

Former President Trump’s chief adviser, in a statement to CBS News, said that he aimed to make the middle east region ‘more peaceful’ and safer, stressing free from wars. The Kushner pushed Israeli-Arab peace treaty in the Middle East was the first ever to involve a Gulf state. The White House adviser also made efforts for the historic first Israel-UAE flight to take off from Ben Gurion Airport, as a part of the resumption of air travel between Israel and UAE.

Kushner’s nomination is not without opposition, and the Nobel Peace Prize has a controversial history.

Russian President Vladimir Putin and former US President Donald Trump have both been nominated in the past.

Upon learning the news, one Twitter user wrote: “At first I thought, ‘is that a sick joke?’ Then I thought, ‘hang on, who nominated him?’… Trump’s FIRST impeachment lawyer (as in first of TWO) @AlanDersh of @Harvard_Law who says ‘Trump shouldn’t be impeached out of office’. Then I thought, ‘yeah that makes sense'”.
