White House encouraging investment in Middle East as part of peace plan

The White House announced on Sunday the first part of its much-anticipated Middle East peace plan, which will involve encouraging investment in the West Bank, Gaza and throughout the region.

The U.S., in partnership with Bahrain, will host a “Peace to Prosperity” economic workshop in Bahrain's capital Manama on June 25 and June 26, the countries said in a joint statement. The workshop will bring together leaders in government, civil society and business to "share ideas, discuss strategies, and galvanize support for potential economic investments and initiatives that could be made possible by a peace agreement," officials said.

It will particularly focus on building a prosperous future for the Palestinian people, officials said.

"This workshop will engage leaders from across the entire Middle East to promote economic growth and opportunity for the people in this important region,” Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin said in the statement.

Hard to open a business without a working infrastructure, or sell your wares without consumers who earn enough to have a discretionary income to buy them. Madness to expect money will win over hearts and minds and change decades of hostilities.
