Most Political Observers Pan US Economic Framework for Mideast Peace

Dale Gavlak

   AMMAN, JORDAN - A recent (June 25-26) U.S.-sponsored workshop in
   Bahrain aimed to showcase the purported economic benefits a Mideast
   peace deal could bring. Spearheaded by White House adviser Jared
   Kushner - President Trump's son-in-law - it proposes an international
   fund to lift the West Bank, Gaza and neighboring Arab state economies
   by $50 billion, half for investments or loans to the Palestinians over
   10 years. But analysts say introducing economics divorced from a
   realistic political plan is a non-starter for Palestinians and
   Israelis.

   U.S. commentator Nicolle Nikpour praised the Trump Administration for
   making a "noble effort to help the Palestinian people" with its new
   plan because she says they "have not been treated adequately by their
   leadership."
