A delegation of senior White House officials led by US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner arrived in Morocco Thursday evening as they continued to lobby support for the administration’s highly-secretive so-called ‘Mideast peace plan.’

While in Rabat, the US delegation reportedly met with Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi, and the Sultanate of Oman's Minister Responsible for Foreign Affairs Yusuf bin Alawi bin Abdullah.

A senior White House official later told the Post that the meeting was “extremely productive,” but it remains unclear if Moroccan government officials will take part in ‘peace’ talks during the delegation’s stay.

Kushner was accompanied by special envoy to the Middle East Jason Greenblatt, special representative for Iran Brian Hook and deputy assistant to the president Avi Berkowitz.

Earlier on Thursday, the US delegation held talks in Cairo with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah al-Sisi, where the two sides discussed "ways to consolidate peace and stability in the region,” a statement released by the Egyptian presidency said.

"Kushner recounted the contacts the US delegation had made with various parties to set the negotiations between the Palestinians and ‘Israelis’ back on track," it added.

So far, Kushner's so-called ‘deal of the century’ has been flatly rejected by Palestinian officials, who argue the Trump administration is biased in favor of the Zionist entity.

Palestinian say that that theirs Mideast peace proposal fails to address key demands such as the establishment of their own independent state.

The US delegation is currently on a six-country tour of the region which has already taken him to Jordan, Saudi Arabia, Egypt and the ‘Israeli’-occupied territories to discuss the controversial plan.
