Kushner Mum on Details, But Tells Palestinians Door Open to US Peace Plan

VOA News

   White House senior adviser Jared Kushner said Wednesday the
   Palestinians can still help refine a U.S. Middle East peace plan they
   have rejected because the economic proposal ignored their political
   aspirations for statehood.

   During a news conference at the end of an economic workshop in Manama,
   Bahrain, aimed at jump-starting the Israeli-Palestinian peace process,
   Kushner said it was "important to bring out the economic vision before
   the political vision" because people need to see what the future can
   look like.

   Kushner said his team would disclose the plan's secret political
   details "when we're ready" and added, "We'll see what happens."

   The multibillion-dollar "Peace to Prosperity" proposal to boost
   Palestinian and neighboring Arab states' economy is part of a Middle
   East peace plan heralded by U.S. President Donald Trump as the "Deal of
   the Century," and spearheaded by Kushner, his son-in-law.
