During the workshop, Kushner said he aimed at luring investments worth of 50 billion U.S. dollars in Palestine, Lebanon and Jordan to create 1 million job opportunities for the Palestinians as well as doubling the GDP in 10 years.
But the "opportunity of the century," as Kushner dubs it, hasn't mentioned anything about the Palestinians' demands for the establishment of their own independent state, Fahmy noted.
Kushner's visit to Egypt came in parallel with a statement released by the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) which called on all Arab countries to reject all details about the U.S. peace deal, deeming it "as an Israeli project to liquidate the Palestinian cause."
The PLO statement, issued after a PLO meeting in the West Bank city of Ramallah, highlighted the necessity to abide by the Arab Peace Initiative and stop all kinds of normalization with Israel.
"The Palestinian people hasn't authorized any person to negotiate on their behalf," the statement said.
Nourhan el-Sheikh, a political expert, said Kushner's visit aims to guarantee that important Arab countries like Egypt and Saudi Arabia wouldn't oppose or hinder the U.S. approach toward the Palestinian-Israeli peace process.
In addition, "Trump needs to succeed in the Middle East peace process" before the presidential elections, el-Sheikh told Xinhua.
Egypt only accept the two-state solution while Washington's plan only focuses on one state, definitely Israel, and self-rule for the Palestinians, she noted.
