He has an innate ability to make deals, everyone likes him.”Kushner, who is married to Trump’s daughter Ivanka, was appointed earlier this month to be a senior White House advisor for the incoming administration.Read Knesset speaker: Trump's dream team cabinet gives Israel hopeBy: Jonathan Benedek, World Israel News Donald TrumpIvanka TrumpJared KushnerMiddle East
