That project has largely been on pause since the administration’s January release of a peace plan heavily slanted in Israel’s favor that analysts called unacceptable to the Palestinians.

Since then, Mr. Kushner and other Trump officials have turned their energies toward Israel’s relations with other Arab countries, in part as a means of showing the Palestinians that their demands would no longer dictate the region’s wider dynamics.
