President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner and National Security Advisor Robert O’Brien will travel from Israel to the United Arab Emirates next week on the first commercial flight between the two countries, according to a senior White House official.
Brian Hook, Trump’s special representative on Iran, and Mideast envoy Avi Berkowitz will also be part of the U.S. delegation aboard the symbolic flight to Abu Dhabi. The Trump administration brokered a deal to normalize relations between Israel and the UAE earlier this month.
