The White House will announce Sunday afternoon the first part of its Middle East peace proposal, what officials are calling an economic"workshop" to encourage investing capital in the West Bank, Gaza, and the region, a senior administration official tells CNN.
The workshop will take place in Manama, Bahrain, on June 25 and 26, bringing together finance ministers with global and regional business leaders. The effort is being headed by Jared Kushner, the senior White House adviser and President's son-in-law, and White House Middle East envoy Jason Greenblatt, who have spent years developing the proposal along with the much stickier political component, which officials said would be announced later in the year.
