Bahrain meeting to avoid politics — Kushner
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleKushner tells CNN that the Bahrain meeting will seek to avoid politics to avoid getting bogged down in tougher issues, and foreign ministers will be shunned in favor of finance ministers.
“We recognize that this needs to go hand in hand with the political plan, but this will be the first chance to roll out details of the economic plan,” says an unnamed official.
“We think this will showcase the potential of the entire region,” the official says. “If there’s peace, it will touch on not only the West Bank and Gaza, but also Jordan, Lebanon, Israel and Egypt. The economies will become integrated.”
