Book Claims Kushner Had Access to Secret UAE Funds, Netanyahu Urged Israeli Bank Placement

Investigative journalist Matthew Cole's new book alleges that Jared Kushner, former President Trump's senior adviser, was involved in a secret network of bank accounts with Gulf rulers and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The book claims over $2 billion was made available, including a $1 billion transfer to Israel, with Netanyahu allegedly urging Kushner to place funds in an Israeli bank account. Kushner's lawyer has strongly denied all allegations, stating no such accounts existed. The alleged financial arrangements are linked to diplomatic efforts in the Middle East.
