One day after the Trump administration announced plans for an economic summit that would kick-start its long-awaited Middle East peace plan, the project is already facing a barrage of criticism, questions and rejections.
Palestinian leaders, from government to business, repudiated the summit after the White House announcement Sunday -- highlighting how difficult it will be for President Donald Trump to make a deal after several steps that were seen as supportive of Israel.
An administration official told ABC News Monday that it's not yet been decided when the political portion of the plan will be rolled out but didn't rule out that it could also be unveiled in Bahrain, where the focus would be on bringing in economic investment to help solve the decades-old conflict. Palestinian political leaders were angry because they did not receive an advanced notice of the economic summit plan before the U.S. announcement Sunday, according to Shtayyeh. There has been virtually no contact between the Trump administration and Palestinian leadership since December 2017, when Trump recognized Jerusalem as Israel's capital.
"We will not deal with any event outside the Palestinian national consensus," said Bashar Masri, a prominent and wealthy Palestinian businessman who said neither he nor any of his employees will participate."The idea of economic peace is an old idea that is now being asked differently, and as our people have previously rejected it, we reject it now."
