Jared Kushner, an adviser and son-in-law to US President Donald Trump, travels to Saudi Arabia and Qatar this week following the assassination of an Iranian nuclear scientist.

The information comes from a high-ranking source within the White House.
Kushner will meet with Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman in the Saudi city of Neom. From there, he will travel to Qatar to meet the country’s emir.
The situation in the region is very tense after the assassination attempt on Friday, when prominent nuclear physicist Mohsen Fakhrizadeh was killed after an attack on the car in which he was traveling outside the Iranian capital, Tehran.
Iran openly accuses arch-enemy Israel of being behind the attack, in the good memory of the United States.
Earlier this year, Kushner and his staff helped normalize relations between Israel and Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates and Sudan.
A few days before the attack in Iran, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was in Saudi Arabia and is said to have met bin Salman there.
According to a Reuters source at the White House, the Trump administration wants to try to reach as many deals as possible in the region before incoming President Joe Biden and his staff take office in the White House in January.
