Palestinians Urge Egypt, Jordan to Reconsider Going to US-led Conference

Reuters

   BURQIN, WEST BANK - Palestinians urged Egypt and Jordan on Wednesday to
   reconsider their attendance at a U.S.-led conference on June 25-26 in
   Bahrain, voicing concern it would weaken any Arab opposition to
   Washington's coming peace plan.

   The United States has billed the gathering as a workshop to boost the
   Palestinian economy as part of a broader diplomatic effort widely
   referred to as President Donald Trump's "deal of the century" to
   address the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

   Palestinian leaders, who are boycotting the meeting, say the still
   unpublished plan falls short of their goal of statehood. They primarily
   blame a halt in U.S. aid and Israeli restrictions for an economic
   crisis in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip.
