Middle East Peace Initiative to Bring Palestinians Billions | Currently Middle East | '
The plan proposes reforming the Palestinian economy, according to US President Donald Trump's government, to generate significant international investment. Their "economy first" approach calls for the establishment of a global investment fund to promote Palestinian and neighboring Arab economies.
In addition, a transportation corridor will be built for $ 5 billion, connecting the two separate Palestinian territories, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. This is evident from documents that the news agency Reuters could see, as well as information from US officials.
Trump's son-in-law Jared Kushner is scheduled to present the plan next week at an international conference in Bahrain. In an interview with Reuters, Kushner said the Trump government hopes that other countries, especially wealthy Gulf states, will take over most of the bill.
"The Deal of the Century"
Skeptics, who testify to the project little chance of success, he countered, with the plan, the cards were completely reshuffled. At the insistence of leading Palestinians who reject the plan as an attempt to use money to renounce their claims to their own state, he said, "I laugh when they attack that as the 'deal of the century'. the opportunity of the century, if they have the courage to persecute them. "
The US government has postponed the publication of the peace plan, which was also drafted by Kushner, several times. Of the plan, which may not be presented until November, only a few details are known so far. It is not to speak of "two states", which has provoked sharp criticism among Palestinians. In the Middle East conflict, the two-state solution, which provides for a separate state for the Palestinians, has for decades been the central approach of international mediation efforts.
