Palestinians react to Kushner plan
The economic plan was released by the White House on Saturday and is set to be presented during a US-led workshop in Bahrain on June 25-26. When the document was released, many noticed that the 40-page plan was void of any political context with the words "occupation", "freedom", "equality", "blockade" missing. "The absence of those words is actually quite glaring and it's very indicative of what they see is the issue," Diana Buttu, a Haifa-based analyst and former legal adviser to Paleostinian peace negotiators, told Al Jazeera. "They've put together this optimal, pie-in-the-sky plan that any person who's involved in economic development would love to see. But it's not applicable to Paleostine because they've taken away the political context." At the heart of the plan is a proposed $50bn investment fund which would be split between Paleostinians in the occupied territories (more than half of the total amount) and its neighbours Egypt, Leb and Jordan.
