and senior adviser jared kushner is in israel leading the u.s. effort to revive long-stalled middle east peace talks. kushner set to meet with israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu and palestinian authority president mahmoud abbas on wednesday. he met with the president of egypt as a new sore spot in u.s./cairo relations emerged. let s bring in orren liebermann live in jerusalem. i understand the foreign minister canceled a meeting because of that snag. but the egyptian president didn t seem to mind much. good morning. reporter: those meetings did happen in the end, but there may have been awkward moments there because the u.s. just cut $100 million in aid from egypt. that u.s. egypt aid wasn t the point of the meetings. this was kushner and the white house delegation trying to establish a regional framework for a peace process. it s smart to try to get all the critical players involved here before meeting with the israelis and palestinians.
