Jared Kushner is founding a nonprofit focused on the Middle East, report says

Jared Kushner is founding a nonprofit focused on deepening Israel's relationships in the Middle East, Axios' Barak Ravid reported Wednesday.

The organization, named the Abraham Accords Institute for Peace, aim to deepen the new normalization agreements between Israel and other countries in the Middle East via trade and tourism.

During the presidency of his father-in-law, Donald Trump, Kushner played a major role in facilitating the Abraham Accords, which were hatched between August and December 2020.

It involved the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Sudan, and Morocco agreeing to recognize Israel's sovereignty. The UAE and Bahrain became the third and fourth Arab states to recognize Israel.

And he'll probably skim off a large portion of the donations for himself.

I was thinking more along the lines of using the non-profit to steer business to himself in some fashion. The non-profit characterization means nothing if most of the money raised is used to purchase services at a Trump or Kushner business.

3. Well, we surely don't expect him to do anything to actually benefit the American people.

6. Was he ever included in the SDNY's case against the 3 Trump kids' charity case?

I don't think I've ever seen a family that is so involved in taking in donations like the Trump Bunch.

Now that SDNY put restrictions on the 3 Trump kids about not skimming off charities, they have to be careful. Maybe Jared is the new procurer of funds for the family's jollies?

Jared also has a big bill coming up for their $40M mansion on a $30M Florida property. You sure as heck can't furnish that with IKEA stuff.

7. I'm not sure Jared knows what a non-profit is. It's bound to be a slush fund for more antics

It'll be interesting to see what jillionaires kick in to his foundation.

10. "Non-profit" does not mean it's not a scam

Lots of non-profits are set up and the directors get a nice salary out of it while doing little of what the non-profit is supposed to be doing.
