In an interview to Al Arabiya, US President Donald Trump’s Middle East envoy, Jason Greenblatt, said that the economic plan “will not move forward” without a political agreement.

“Jared Kushner and a very skilled team from the US government put forth this $50 billion plan to help Palestinians, Jordanians, Egyptians, and the Lebanese", Greenblatt said, "But none of it will work unless there’s a political plan that both sides, the Israelis and the Palestinians agree to"
