The US peace plan is beginning to be unveiled. Jared Kushner, who is President Trump’s
senior advisor and son-in-law, presented Peace
to Prosperity at the workshop in Manama, Bahrain on June 26, 2019. The plan is “a new vision for the Palestinian
people and the broader Middle East.” Kushner
suggests that there are four common goals for all who attended the workshop.
1.
Peace, security, and prosperity for Palestinians,
Israelis, and everyone else throughout the world
2.
Freedom to worship without persecution
3.
People to live together with dignity and respect
4.
Create better lives for their children and
future generations
Peace to Prosperity is
a vision,
to empower the Palestinian people
to build a prosperous and vibrant Palestinian society. It consists of three
initiatives that will support distinct pillars of the Palestinian society: the
economy, the people, and the government. With the potential to facilitate more
than $50 billion in new investment over ten years, Peace to Prosperity represents
the most ambitious and comprehensive international effort for the Palestinian
people to date. It has the ability to fundamentally transform the West Bank and
Gaza and to open a new chapter in Palestinian history—one defined, not by
adversity and loss, but by freedom and dignity (Forward
to Peace and Prosperity).
The plan has three initiatives: 1) unleash the economic potential
of the Palestinians; 2) empower Palestinian people to realize their ambitions;
and 3) chancing Palestinian governance, improving the public sector’s ability
to serve its citizens and enable private-sector growth.
I hope to present a few reflections on Peace to Prosperity in the next few days. For a link to a video of Jared Kushner’s
