(JTA) — Two top advisers to President Donald Trump, including his Jewish son-in-law Jared Kushner, will return to Jerusalem this week to push for restarted peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians.
The visits to Jerusalem and Ramallah by Kushner, a senior adviser to Trump, and national security aide Jason Greenblatt were widely reported on Sunday night, all citing unnamed White House officials. The visits were first reported in The Wall Street Journal.
It will be the first major peace push by the White House since Trump visited the region last month.

Eritrea occupies disputed territory after Qataris exit, Djibouti files complaint
Djibouti has accused neighboring Eritrea of occupying a disputed territory along the two neighboring countries’ borderline.
“Qatari peacekeepers withdrew on June 12 and 13. On the same day, there were Eritrean military movements on the mountain,” Foreign Minister Mahamoud Ali Youssouf said on Friday.
Qatari peacekeepers had been in control of the disputed mountainous border crossing between Eritrea and Djibouti.
“They [Eritreans] are now in full control of Dumeira Mountain and Dumeira Island. This is in breach of the United Nations Security Council resolution,” he said.
The minister said Djibouti had lodged complaints with both the United Nations and the African Union, adding that its military forces were “on alert”.

Marchers in London Al-Quds Day parade blame apartment fire on ‘Zionists’
(JTA) — Marchers in the annual Al-Quds Day parade in London blamed a fire in a low-income apartment complex that left at least 58 dead on “Zionists.”
Hundreds marched Sunday afternoon behind the Palestinian flag and behind a flag of Hezbollah, which Britain designates as a terror organization. Many marchers also carried paper versions of the Hezbollah flag. No effort was made by London police to stop them, the Jewish Chronicle reported.
“This demonstration calls on justice for Grenfell. Some of the biggest supporters of the Conservative Party are Zionists. They are responsible for the murder of the people in Grenfell. The Zionist supporters of the Tory Party. Free, Free, Palestine!” one man shouted into a microphone during the march, according to the Chronicle.
Other chants included “Zionists/ISIS are the same. Only difference is the name.”
