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".

Maybe Obama can give all those Palestinians $50,000 because the racist, honky US government wouldn’t let them be pig farmers. Think about it.
Who, in their right mind, would invest in anything Palestinian? Sounds like government “investment” of our money.
in about another ten years Israel will have killed/imprisoned/starved/ritalinized most of the Palestinians anyway.

Absolutely spot on. The Israelis left behind intact greenhouses to provide a livelihood for the Pali-idiots. The Pali-idiots promptly dismantled the greenhouses and destroyed them. And you trust such morons to make sound decisions with OUR money? Crackhead!

Bet Theresa isn't investing alongside our tax dollars. Bet no one is investing alongside our tax dollars, else they're be no need. Likely a "stimulus", the dollars will go to pay government employee salaries. Someone has to pay it.
Tourists tend not to go where the likelihood of someone cutting off your head is high.
Construction is useless among people who blow things up instead of building things.
They inherited a mature agricultural industry when Israel pulled out of Gaza. And they trashed it overnight.
Kerry is a dim bulb. Perhaps the dimmest bulb to ever light the State Department. And that takes some serious doing.
BS.
Is this a public private partnership proposal? What sane private entity (CAIR doesn’t count) would invest their hard earned cash alongside the government in this bribe-a-thon boondoggle?
why is it bs? certainly the intention of the Israelis is not a strong, vibrant palestianian society. is it?
You make them sound like mass murderers.
So? What’s your point?
