Jared Kushner rebukes protests, touts Israeli-Palestinian peace process

White House senior adviser Jared Kushner touted the prospects of an Israeli-Palestinian peace process at the opening of the U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem on Monday, even as mass protests raged on the border of Israel and Gaza.

“Those provoking violence are part of the problem and not part of the solution,” Kushner said at the embassy dedication. “We believe that it is possible for both sides to gain more than they give so that all people can live in peace, safe from danger, free from fear, and able to pursue their dreams.”
