Trump sends a message to Palestinians with his appointment of son-in-law to negotiate peace deal
Washington Examiner:
President-elect Donald Trump is setting the bar high for his eldest daughter's husband, Jared Kushner.While his statement was a compliment to Kushner, it was also a warning to Palestinians that if they do not agree to a deal soon, they may never get another chance.
