While on a visit to Ukraine Sunday, Kushner said this about Israel's policies in Gaza. We agree with them on the end state. They just have a crazy election and that makes them a little irrational in certain regards. But we're very determined and we're working through these things.

Those who support the move say it's about enforcing work permit rules. Critics say it's an attempt to shift blame for Kenya's economic woes.
