Jared Kushner is set to lead a workshop next week for Middle East stakeholders that neither Palestinian or Israeli officials plan to attend.
the Trump administration’s “economic vision” for Palestinian territories and neighboring Arab countries ahead of a diplomatic conference in Bahrain next week helmed by senior adviser Jared Kushner.
A second part of Kushner’s plan that is meant to address the political implications of the Israeli-Palestinian peace process is expected to be released in the fall. For now, the president’s son-in-law and his chief negotiator in the region, special U.S. envoy Jason Greenblatt, have proposed an international effort aimed at stimulating long-term economic growth for the Palestinians through contributions from Gulf states that are flush with cash and by “opening the West Bank and Gaza to regional and global markets,” according to the plan.
The Trump administration claims that Palestinian gross domestic product will double over the next decade if Kushner’s plan is implemented, in addition to creating substantial job growth, strengthening workforce development and reducing poverty by 50 percent.
