Kushner Scraps Belgrade Deal, Still Profits from 'Peace'
While DW focuses on the aborted Belgrade project, they gloss over the broader pattern: Kushner's multi-billion-dollar investment fund, Affinity Partners, received a whopping $2 billion from Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund just months after his White House tenure as a 'peace envoy.' This wasn't just a Serbian hotel, but part of a portfolio for a man whose 'diplomatic' roles consistently
opened doors for personal enrichment. One might wonder if the real 'peace' Kushner brokered was for his own bank account. With the original article citing local opposition to privatizing historic sites, it appears that even a semblance of public scrutiny can derail these opaque private deals. It's almost as if 'diplomatic' connections generate lucrative opportunities, right up until the point they
become too inconvenient to maintain on the public dime.
