Abbas: Bahrain conference a 'big lie conceived by Kushner

Palestinian Authority (PA) chairman Mahmoud Abbas responded on Wednesday to senior White House adviser Jared Kushner, who had earlier criticized the PA leadership for boycotting the US-led Bahrain conference last week.

"The Trump administration’s peace plan will fail just as the economic conference in Bahrain failed,” said Abbas, according to Israeli media outlets, describing the Bahrain conference as “a big lie conceived by Kushner.”
