'The Palestinian leadership has been attacking a plan' when they 'don’t even know what it is,' Kushner said.
Jared Kushner, senior White House adviser and son-in-law to President Donald Trump, has remained tight-lipped on his long-awaited Middle East peace plan, but told a foreign policy conference people will be surprised by its contents.
“What we will be able to put together is a solution that we believe is a good starting point for the political issues and then an outline for what can be done to help these people start living a better life,” Kushner explained. Kushner has been working on the plan with White House Middle East Jason Greenblatt for the past two years. Their efforts have been undermined by the closest U.S.-Israeli relationship in decades, which Palestinian leaders claim voids America’s position as arbiter in the negotiations.
The coming peace plan is expected to offer the Palestinians economic incentives to create new opportunities in the blockaded Gaza Strip and the West Bank, where unemployment remains high and living standards low. The American team has also been speaking with wealthy Arab states, hoping to secure commitments to infrastructure and industrial projects.
The last government was led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu—with whom Kushner has family ties. Netanyahu secured another term in office last month, and has publicly disavowed the two-state solution, threatened to annex illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank and overseen the passage of a law declaring that only Jews have the right to self-determination in Israel.
Kushner said the success of the plan will come down to whether the Palestinian leadership has the “intent for preservation or whether they have the intent for the betterment of the lives of their people.”
