In his book “Princes and Thieves: The Secret Plot of Jared Kushner and Mohammed bin Zayed to Reshape the Middle East,” investigative journalist Matthew Cole reveals a secret alliance between the son-in-law of the US President Jered Kushner, the President of UAE Mohammed bin Zayed, and the Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.The book, which documents Kushner's method of formulating a parallel foreign policy based on financial and personal interests, addresses the role of this axis in redrawing the geopolitical map of the region, while highlighting suspicious financial movements and relationships with shadow security actors.The Crown Prince, Mohammed bin Zayed and his partner, Mohammed bin Salman, have long possessed enormous influence and wealth to establish their countries as new powers in the Middle East. But to achieve their ambitions, they needed partners, and they found what they needed in Jared Kushner, the son-in-law of President Donald J. Trump is very ambitious; Erik Prince, the notorious former CEO of Blackwater, who amassed armies of mercenaries; and a former CIA agent, among other allies.At the heart of this shocking story is a tense relationship with Israel to confront Iran and marginalize Palestine, and secrets that the conspirators seek to hide, including bank accounts that Kushner uses to advance his own agenda in the Middle East. The actions of Mohammed bin Zayed and Mohammed bin Salman have resulted in a series of devastating repercussions, both domestically and globally, including interference in the US presidential elections, the Israeli war of annihilation in Gaza, and the Israeli-American war with Iran. These consequences raise an important question: Was it...Is the president himself aware of what is going on in the White House?
In his signature "sharp and frank" style (as described by New York Times bestselling author Jeremy Scahill), Matthew Cole, with his meticulous narrative style, exposes these secret and dangerous relationships and the damage they have done to our democracy, offering an urgent and startling understanding of our modern history and foreign policy.
