Kushner in Bahrain: Deal on Economic Pathway Vital for Middle East Peace
(Reuters-NBC News) Senior White House adviser Jared Kushner said on Tuesday in Bahrain that agreement on an economic way forward was a necessary precondition for Israeli-Palestinian peace. "What we have developed is the most comprehensive economic plan ever created specifically for the Palestinians and the broader Middle East," he said. "My direct message to the Palestinian people is that, despite what those who have let you down in the past say, President Trump and America have not given up on you. This workshop is for you." He said economic growth and prosperity for the Palestinians were not possible without an "enduring and fair political solution" to the conflict - one that guaranteed Israel's security and respected the dignity of the Palestinian people.
