Affinity Partners, Jared Kushner’s investment fund (Trump’s son-in-law), is set to become the largest shareholder in the Israeli insurance company Phoenix. The fund is expected to receive regulatory approval today to acquire an additional 4.95% stake in the company (adding to its existing 4.95%), bringing its total ownership to 9.9%.
What’s most intriguing is the source of funding for Kushner’s fund: approximately $2 billion was raised from the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Qatar (!). This was known to Israeli authorities, who must approve the deal.
With regulatory approval granted, Qatar and Saudi Arabia – via Kushner’s fund – will effectively become the largest shareholders in an Israeli insurance company.
Quite remarkable, isn’t it?
