The opportunity of the century.
That's what White House Adviser and the US president's son-in-law is selling as the first step towards ending decades of conflict between the Israelis and Palestinians.
Jared Kushner unveiled the economic part of a long-awaited Middle East peace plan in Bahrain on Tuesday.
He wants $50 billion from Gulf Arab nations and business leaders to build projects and create jobs in the Palestinian territory, Jordan, Egypt and Lebanon.
However, no Israeli official has been invited to the conference, and Palestinians are boycotting the event.
So what's the point of the meeting? And does money trump politics?
