U.S. to Launch Middle East Peace Plan with Economic Workshop in Bahrain

(CNN) Jake Tapper and Jeremy Diamond - The White House announced Sunday that it would host an economic workshop with Bahrain on June 25-26 as the first stage of the U.S. Middle East peace plan. Senior White House adviser Jared Kushner told CNN: "People are letting their grandfathers' conflict destroy their children's futures. This will present an exciting, realistic and viable pathway forward that does not currently exist." A senior administration official said the plan will discuss infrastructure, industry, empowering and investing in people, and governance reforms "to make the area as investible as possible." Kushner is said to have modeled details of the economic proposal on what has worked in Poland, Japan, Singapore, and South Korea. A second senior administration official said the workshop will "show that you can't have peace without economic stability and opportunity, but you also can't have economic opportunity and stability without peace and free of terror and resolving some of these core issues."
