Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kusher nominated for Nobel Prize as Abraham Accords negotiator

Washington: Former White House adviser and Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kusher has been nominated for the Nobel Prize for his work as a leading negotiator of the Abraham Accords.

The accords — a series of groundbreaking normalization agreements between Israel, the United Arab Emirates, Sudan, Morocco and Bahrain — were among former President Trump’s most significant foreign-policy achievements.

Kushner, 41, who worked on foreign policy for the Trump administration, was put up for the award for his work on the Abraham Accords, a series of agreements that normalized relations between Israel and several Middle Eastern nations.

The nomination was submitted by Long Island GOP Rep. Lee Zeldin — who also nominated Kushner’s deputy Avi Berkowitz.

Kushner and Berkowitz were also nominated for the prize last year by former Trump attorney Alan Dershowitz.

Kushner has mostly laid low since he and Ivanka Trump left the White House after Donald Trump was defeated by President Biden in the 2020 elections. The pair have since relocated to Miami where Kushner runs Affinity Partners, a $3 billion global investment firm.

Kushner said he was “humbled” by the nomination.
