AL SHUNAH, Jordan: US Secretary of State John Kerry unveiled on Sunday a plan to boost the Palestinian economy by attracting $4 billion in private investment, saying it could transform the lives of the people.
As he seeks to bring Israel and the Palestinians back to the table to negotiate a peace deal, Kerry said it was also imperative to create jobs and meet the hopes of young people for a better economic future.
He has tasked Tony Blair, the Quartet's special envoy to the Middle East, with drawing up a plan to revitalise the West Bank through boosting industries such as tourism, construction and agriculture.
Blair's plan, being aided by some global business leaders who are giving their time free, could be "ground-shaking," Kerry said, adding it could lead to "a private-sector-led healthy, sustainable Palestinian economy".
The group was putting together recommendations for the Palestinian leadership to decide on, aiming to "mobilise some $4 billion of investment".

He has to be kidding - TOURISM? Take a tour of Palestinians in the West Bank while dodging bullets because they hate Americans. Sure, sign me up - not.
more money the political hacks can steal from us...
I’m sure his Palestinian friends will waste no time getting the money to their terrorist buddies.
4 billion for more arms missiles and manpads!
We don’t have 4 billion to give anyone!
Why do dems think they can just give tax dollars away!
This has to be changed where is Congress! and where have they been for 30 years!
Hey Kerry just send some free ketchup The FDA deemed it a food in the food group!
By the way all foreign aid now should be in the way of food or meds! No cash! And sent from the USA as a voucher!
This way Americans some where see a profit and the cash stays in the States!
The Gov buys the product from the vendor and ships it!
By the way Kerry how bout boosting our economy with low intrest loans for small business to the tune of 4 billion dollars!
4 Billion? Wow that sequester is sure crimping out style.
Jefferson is no doubt rolling in his grave. Two hundred years ago as a fledgling, weak nation we handled pirates such as these like men. Today, we give them state dinners, kiss their a$$es, and lavish them with Dollars borrowed from China or printed out of thin air.
The last laugh will be on us.
John Kerry...”Four Billion, think how much
could be in YOUR wallet!”.
Basiclly he’s saying, think how much graft you
could take on that much MONEY.
Any foreign aid we make available should be given for Genuine humanitarian reasons or for defense purposes to our allies, and NOT to openly-avowed Islamic or other enemies of the western Judeo-Christian world.
Treason/Theft on a grand scale (there is no practical or effective way to audit or track funds ostensibly given to terrorist organizations overseas)... >?
yes only send product food and meds!
There is no need for cash! It only goes into the hands of those as the likes of Idi Amin!
The popiel slicer and dicer directs it’s use!
Are the Palis investing in Rocket Science?
What industries? There’s a finite limit to the market for “Death to America” signs.
OK , where is this money really going ,because there is no Palestine
the last crooked murderer in charge of the socalled Palistinian authority or PLO (Arafat, an Egyptian) left a zillion dollars to his young widow when he finally finished stealing and killing people (even scum eventually die)
it is no different now.
but it is also the AMERICAN politicians who stand to make tons of money off krap like this....
why do you think they keep giving away our money to rouge or terrorist regimes or organizations overseas... “giving” our money to enemies of America or Christian values or civilization or our allies.... terroristas or MuslimBros or you name it? DO YOU IMAGINE that all our tax money gets to the murderers intact, without having a big part siphoned off first... or without having a big part rebated back to a secret swiss bank account or two?
if so, I have a great bridge in NYC on sale...
These would be the same “Palestinians” who destroyed all the greenhouses the Israelis left behind, right?
This is 4 billion USD for the “Palestinians” to arm themselves, destroy Israel, and support jihad worldwide.
Shove it up your smelly infected Obama, JK.
You are slime, you ugly sub IQ gigolo.
Gads, your wives must have really been hard up.
How about asking the Saudis and their ilk to not only offer a few billion $, but some of their spare land as well?
U.S. politicians doing what they do best: arming the enemies of Israel.
Hmm! Now what could they produce?
How about turning plowshares into swords; or maybe fine camel skin bomb belts; or maybe send them some rock crushers so they can arm the street scum with proper sized rock throwing ammunition; or automate the production of IED’s to improve output; send them used cellphones so they can hone the art of developing detonators. Or maybe a classroom of Pali’s with maps of New York City in an advanced school to teach these heathens how to become a NYC taxi driver. There must be lots of possibilities to blow $4 billion on these scum.
Hell, we were able to blow $878 billion on our own, producing a sum total of Zer0!
