"Kushner has been participating in peace negotiations worldwide, with Trump appointing Kushner to the unofficial position of the administration's special peace envoy in Feb. 2026. Now, as one of the government's negotiators in the Middle East, Kushner is working to raise money for his private equity firm, Affinity Partners, from governments across the Middle East, according to The New York Times."
"Kushner and his team have reportedly entered into conversation with Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund (PIF) for first look rights, Axios said after confirming The NYTs reports. Led by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the PIF is the country's primary wealth fund, funded in large part by the country's oil revenues."
"Saudi Arabia's PIF already invested $2 billion into Kushner's firm shortly after the first Trump administration. At the time, rumors swirled that the PIF's investment staff advised against the transaction, but bin Salman overruled"
Jared Kushner, serving as special peace envoy to President Trump, is actively fundraising for his private equity firm Affinity Partners, targeting at least $5 billion from Middle Eastern governments. Multiple sources confirm Kushner has been meeting with investors across the region while simultaneously conducting diplomatic negotiations. Kushner's team has engaged with Saudi Arabia's Public Investment Fund, led by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, seeking first look rights on investments. The PIF previously invested $2 billion in Kushner's firm following the first Trump administration. The Trump administration maintains close ties with bin Salman, with the President publicly defending the Crown Prince regarding controversial matters.
