| [NEWS.XINHUANET] U.S.President Donald Trump's son-in-law and senior Middle East advisor, Jared Kushner, arrived in Israel on Wednesday in an effort to revive the peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians. Kushner is scheduled to meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem and with Palestinian leaders in Ramallah. Shortly after arriving, Kushner visited the family of Hadas Malka, a border police officer who was stabbed to death by a Palestinian while she was on duty in East Jerusalem's Old City last week. A spokesperson for the Malka family said that Kushner was accompanied by U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman, and spend about 30 minutes with Hadas' parents. "Kushner said that President Trump himself asked him to express condolences on behalf of the U.S.," a friend of the family told the Hebrew-language Ynet news site. Kushner joined Jason Greenblatt, a top U.S. national security aide, who arrived in Israel on Tuesday and had met with Netanyahu. |

| #4 I suspect Abbas will be told 'Whoever pays the piper calls the tune'. But even then, I doubt Abbas can make any real concessions stick. The Paleos have been conditioned for too long to expect free stuff for ever. |

| #3 Of course, accords with "Palestinians" ain't worth the paper they're written on. To put it into proper perspective - why don't you (Mr President) get Muslims entering USA to sing a paper obliging them to refrain from Jihad? |

| #1 President Trump has also loaded up daily schedules for VP Pence, Mrs. Pence, Melania and Ivanka for meetings with numerous organizations nationally and internationally. Mr. Trump this week focuses on Agricultural Innovation initiatives, which is interesting in that he has been a metro-New Yorker all of his life. |
