US Convenes Economic Peace Conference in Bahrain

VOA News

   White House senior advisor Jared Kushner said Tuesday an economic plan
   to promote prosperity for the Palestinians must be approved by them as
   a necessary precondition for peace.

   Speaking at Tuesday's opening of an economic workshop in Bahrain to
   jumpstart the peace process between Israel and the Palestinians,
   Kushner also said Palestinians cannot achieve prosperity without a fair
   political solution.

   "Agreeing on an economic pathway forward is a necessary precondition to
   resolving the previously unsolvable political issues," Kushner said.
   "To be clear, economic growth and prosperity for the Palestinian people
   are not possible without an enduring and fair political solution to the
   conflict -- one that guarantees Israel's security and respects the
   dignity of the Palestinian people."
