According to Israeli media, couple Ivanka Trump and Jared Kushner met with Israeli Knesset Speaker Amir Ohana and were taken to tour the area near the southern border with Gaza.
Kushner has Jewish grandparents who survived the Nazi genocide in Poland.
A close source said that Ivanka and her husband came to Israel only for the purpose of showing support for the people of this country, and emphasized that the trip had nothing to do with politics or re-election efforts.
Ivanka herself has emphasized that she will not participate in any position in the future administration if Mr. Trump is re-elected, Kushner also emphasized that he has no plans to join his father-in-law’s presidential campaign at this time.
Former President Trump publicly stated that he did not expect Kushner’s daughter and son-in-law to continue serving in the administration if he won in 2024.
According to a recent Wall Street Journal poll, the visit took place when Mr. Trump led current President Joe Biden in a confrontation about his ability to run for president in 2024.

However, he refused to call for a ceasefire and repeatedly declared his steadfastness towards Israel.
However, it remains unclear how former President Trump’s stance may affect his presidential bid, because party affiliation is an important factor for Americans when it comes to supporting Israel.
In 2017, then-President Trump ordered the US Embassy in Tel Aviv to be moved to Jerusalem, recognizing it as the capital of Israel, a decision that was sharply criticized by Arab, Palestinian and European leaders.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the time praised the decision, but relations between the two leaders have become unexpectedly tense since then.
