Kushner: Israeli-Palestinian deal will diverge from Saudi initiative

"I think we all have to recognize that if there ever is a deal, it's not going to be along the lines of the Arab peace initiative. It will be somewhere between the Arab peace initiative and between the Israeli position," White House senior adviser Jared Kushner says in interview with Al Jazeera that will air on Tuesday.

Reaching an Israeli-Palestinian deal along the lines of the Arab Peace Initiative will not be possible, requiring instead a stance between that and the Israeli position, White House senior adviser Jared Kushner said in an interview with Al Jazeera that will air on Tuesday.

"I think we all have to recognize that if there ever is a deal, it's not going to be along the lines of the Arab peace initiative. It will be somewhere between the Arab peace initiative and between the Israeli position," Kushner said.

As part of the Arab Peace Initiative, Arab states led by Saudi Arabia have called for a Palestinian state drawn along borders that predate the 1967 Six-Day War, which Israel rejects as militarily indefensible.

The comments come ahead of a workshop in Bahrain to showcase the economic portion of Washington's long-awaited Arab-Israeli peace plan, a $50 billion development plan unveiled this week that has faced mixed reactions from Arabs across the region.

Though Kushner has said that only the economic portions of the plan will be discussed in Manama, the capital of Bahrain, the comments offer a rare glimpse into what the political aspects of the peace plan may entail.

"All of the people I speak to, they talk about the Arab Peace Initiative, and again it was a great effort, but if that was where a deal was going to be made a deal would have been made a long time ago," said Kushner.
