Kushner: Trump admin threatened to allow sanctions if Israel annexed parts of West Bank
T. Belman. I certainly would not want to be subject to the same pressure as the PM of Israel is put under. This pressure can not be ignored. Why should Kushner or Trump expect concession to the Palestinians in exchange for support for annexation. How does Israel get out from under? Even for annexing the settlements , not including the Jordan Valley, we are expected to give gestures.
“[Benjamin Netanyahu] risked near-unanimous condemnation at the United Nations,” wrote Kushner.

The Trump administration threatened not to block international sanctions on Israel if former prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu unilaterally annexed parts of the West Bank, former White House senior advisor Jared Kushner wrote in his tell-all book set to be published later this month.
“With annexation, Bibi risked near-unanimous condemnation at the United Nations,” Kushner wrote of the efforts to convince Netanyahu to make concessions to the Palestinians along with extending sovereignty. “And if he went forward unilaterally, there was no guarantee that our administration would block the international sanctions against Israel that might follow.”
