New details are emerging about Trump administration appointments, with Jared Kushner returning to assist his father-in-law's transition preparations.
Republican Party sources suggest Mike Pompeo's rejection by Trump increases Senator Marco Rubio's chances of becoming the next Secretary of State. Rubio, a Florida Senator and strong Israel supporter, has grown closer to Trump in recent months, even attending Tuesday night's victory event in West Palm Beach.
Meanwhile, Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner has returned to assist with forming the new administration. Kushner, a key figure in Trump's first term who led many of its successes, had maintained low public profile with wife Ivanka since 2020, partly to provide their children a more normal life.
After breaking his silence last month to criticize Biden's Middle East policy and stance toward Israel, Kushner is now actively contributing his experience to Trump's potential second term, according to an informed source.
This developments could mean potential continuation of Trump's first-term Middle East policies, particularly regarding Israel and the Abraham Accords.
