Middle East peace plan: Jared Kushner proposes $50bn fund

US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law Jared Kushner has unveiled the first section of the US Middle East peace plan.

Focusing on economics, it envisages more than half of a $50bn (£39bn) fund being spent in the Palestinian territories over 10 years.

The plan will be presented at a conference in Bahrain next week, but the Palestinian Authority has said it will boycott the event, having refused to engage with Mr Trump since the US recognised Jerusalem in 2017.
