Bit surprising that they did not invite White House's official Mideast Peace Process champion and First Son-in-law Kushner. Unless they thought that he was tied up and trying to get up after being thrown under the bus (http://www.ronpaulforums.com/showthread.php?521872-Giuliani-Just-Exposed-Trump&p=6624441&viewfull=1#post6624441) by widely respected America's mayor Giuliani:

Palestinian group challenges Schumer to visit Gaza and call for end to blockade

Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y.

The Council on International Relations, a Gaza-based NGO, issued an invitation yesterday to New York Senator Chuck Schumer to come to Gaza so that he can see that he and the Palestinian community share many attributes, from humble origins to a high value for education. The group said it is confident that Schumer would call for an end to the blockade, as Senator Bernie Sanders has done, if he only observed the “inhuman” Palestinian conditions there.
Schumer has had nothing to say (https://electronicintifada.net/blogs/ali-abunimah/not-one-democrat-has-defended-israel-over-gaza-massacre) about Israel’s killings in Gaza, despite pressure from young Jewish progressives (https://twitter.com/ESMiller59/status/987455886145802246).
The Gaza council’s invitation is below. In the video, the first speaker is Ahmad Totah, a lawyer, and the second (reading the invitation in English) is Israa’ Alnaami, member of the council’s youth group.
