Jared Kushner, US President-Elect Donald Trump's son-in-law who is his adviser on the Palestinian question, financed Israeli illegal settlers and Israeli radical organizations in the occupied West Bank, according to press reports.
His family's Kushner Foundation, in which he is an officer, has donated tens of thousands of dollars to radical Jewish organizations and institutions that has been a base for violence against both Palestinian villages and Israeli security forces, the Israeli newspaper (Haaretz) reported on Monday.
Kushner's parents have donated tens of thousands of dollars to illegal settlements on the West Bank, according to their tax returns.
Between 2011 and 2013 the Kushner family also donated $355,000 to the Friends of the Israeli Defense Forces, the IDF's US fundraising organization.
The 35-year old Kushner has been mentioned as a possible Middle East envoy for Trump to try to solve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Kushner has no diplomatic or political experience.
Kushner's ties to violent settlers is bound to create obstacles to any role he may play as a US negotiator of the Palestinian issue.
