MEP: An Israeli newspaper discussed in a report the presence of 11 top Jews in high positions in the government of US president Donald Trump.
According to the Palestinian Center citing the Jerusalem Post affiliated with the right-wing Zionist, there are 11 prominent and influential Jews in the new US administration.
The report entitled “Meet Top Jews in Donald Trump’s Administration” pointed that Trump won 24 percent of US Jewish vote, in presidential election.
According to the report the top figures in Trump’s administration are:
*Jared Kushner is Trump’s son-in law who is going to serve as a senior adviser to the president.
The report noted that Kushner will not receive a salary and will focus on the Middle East and Israel as well as partnerships with the private sector and free trade.
Kushner, who married Trump’s daughter Ivanka in 2009, played a crucial role in the president’s campaign.
