Jared Kushner, a White House adviser and son-in-law of President Donald Trump, wrapped up his trip to the Middle East on Thursday, for which the top priority on the agenda was furthering peace talks between Israel and Palestine.

The US described Kushner's trip as "productive," despite rumors of disquiet on the Palestinian side.

Kushner was accompanied on the two-day trip by Jason Greenblatt, the White House's special representative for international negotiations, and Dina Powell, the deputy national security adviser.

The team met with officials in Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar, Jordan, as well as Jerusalem, Israel, and Ramallah in the West Bank.
