Jared Kushner, son-in-law of US President Donald Trump, has allegedly gained access to multiple bank accounts in the United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabia, involving billions of dollars, including an account with the Central Bank of Israel. This claim is revealed in the new book, *Prince and Thief: Jared Kushner and Mohammed bin Zayed's Secret Plans to Reshape the Middle East*. In an excerpt published in Vanity Fair, author Matthew Cole states that the Dutch Defence Intelligence and Security Service hacked Kushner's phone and discovered that he had used it to log into a UAE bank account. Since 2017, this account had received hundreds of millions of dollars from an Azerbaijani bank frequently used for money laundering, particularly in large-scale foreign currency conversions into US dollars. A source familiar with Kushner's dealings with the UAE stated, "Kushner was trying to take shortcuts in diplomatic affairs." Kushner promised the UAE president and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman that if they invested in a secret fund for diplomatic purposes, he would push for Trump's support of their agenda. One of Kushner's goals was to ultimately normalize relations between the UAE and other Arab countries with Israel. The relevant process is related to the Abraham Accords.
