White House senior adviser Jared Kushner is the chief architect of a proposed 50 billion USD economic development plan for the Palestinians, Jordan, Egypt and Lebanon that is designed to create peace in the region. The US is likely to give the winner a chance to form a government before presenting the plan, something that could add several weeks to the timetable.The political aspects of the plan have so far been kept under wraps, and no details have been published as to how it may tackle key issues impeding the long-stalled Israeli-Palestinian peace process.
