Jared Kushner, who serves as a top adviser to U.S. President Donald Trump, is expected to visit Israel next week ahead of the rollout of the Trump administration’s long-awaited peace proposal for the Israelis and Palestinians, reported Israeli public broadcaster Kan.

Kushner will meet with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu ahead of the plan’s release, which will begin with an economic workshop in Bahrain scheduled for June 25-26.

While Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates announced that it will send a delegation, the Palestinian Authority (PA) rejected an invitation.

The PA’s response to the Bahrain conference is consistent with its position on the Trump administration in general, which it has officially boycotted since the U.S. officially recognized Jerusalem as Israel’s capital in December 2017.

According to preliminary reports surrounding the “deal of the century,” as the plan has been termed by Trump, the proposal will contain significant economic incentives for Palestinian society in an effort to get Palestinian leaders to agree to a long-term peace with the Jewish state.
