US officials are contemplating sending Jared Kushner to Israel to discuss a peace plan for Gaza, according to an Axios report. The White House envoy, who is President Donald Trump's son-in-law and go-to mediator for the Middle East and Russia, is expected to visit Israel and Egypt in the coming week.
