Nine in Ten Palestinians Distrust US Economic Plan: Poll

Agence France-Presse

   RAMALLAH, WEST BANK - Nine in ten Palestinians do not believe or trust
   the US government's claim that its recently unveiled economic plan aims
   to improve their economic wellbeing, a poll published Wednesday found.

   President Donald Trump's administration presented the economic part of
   its Israeli-Palestinian peace proposals, dubbed 'Peace to Prosperity,
   in the Bahraini capital Manama on June 25-6.

   But the poll, carried out by the Palestinian Center for Policy and
   Survey Research and the first since the Manama conference, found
   overwhelming distrust of Washington.

   The Palestinians refused to attend the conference, accusing the US of
   systematic pro-Israel bias.

   Ninety percent of the 1,200 people polled said they did not believe or
   trust Washington's claim that the Bahrain meetings aimed to improve
   Palestinians' economic conditions.
