'Completely Insane': Kushner Slams Report Alleging Undisclosed Bank Accounts Tied to UAE and Saudi Leaders

NEW YORK/WASHINGTON — A bombshell new report alleges that former senior White House advisor Jared Kushner had access to a secret fund containing billions of dollars from United Arab Emirates and Saudi Arabian leaders, with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu allegedly facilitating the arrangement.

The claims, excerpted from the upcoming book Princes and Thieves: Jared Kushner and Mohamed bin Zayed's Secret Plot to Remake the Middle East by investigative journalist Matthew Cole, have sparked intense scrutiny and immediate, fierce denials.

According to the report, UAE Crown Prince Mohamed bin Zayed and Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman collectively contributed approximately $2 billion into at least two bank accounts to which Kushner had access.

The investigation alleges that one of these accounts was held at the Bank of Israel.

Netanyahu reportedly encouraged Kushner to place these funds in the central bank so that the money would appear as official government assets rather than private holdings.

The report, which was first published as an exclusive excerpt in Vanity Fair, further claims that Russian intelligence agencies may have intercepted communications regarding these transactions by hacking Kushner’s phone.

If true, the alleged financial arrangements would violate multiple U.S. and international laws, including the Foreign Emoluments Clause, which prohibits government officials from accepting gifts or payments from foreign states without Congressional consent.

Additionally, using a central bank to mask the true nature of private funds would raise severe regulatory and legal red flags.

Kushner has vehemently rejected the allegations, taking to social media to condemn the report as "completely insane" and "outrageous fabrications" being passed off as investigative journalism.

He categorically denied having any undisclosed foreign bank accounts or engaging in any illicit financial dealings with Gulf states.

Legal and ethics experts note that the claims, if substantiated, would represent a profound breach of public trust.

During his tenure, Kushner was a primary architect of the Trump administration’s Middle East policy, including brokering the Abraham Accords and facilitating major arms sales to Saudi Arabia.

The alleged intertwining of his official diplomatic duties with private financial benefits from the very nations he was negotiating with presents a stark conflict of interest.

The Bank of Israel has reportedly stated that it does not hold private accounts for foreign individuals in the manner described, casting further doubt on the logistical feasibility of the claims.

Meanwhile, the Israeli Prime Minister’s office has not yet issued a formal response to the specific allegations regarding his alleged involvement.

As the publication date of Princes and Thieves approaches, the controversy is expected to intensify.

For now, the allegations remain unproven, but they have already reignited fierce debates over transparency, foreign influence, and the ethical boundaries of high-level diplomatic negotiations.
