WASHINGTON - The United States will hold an international economic"workshop" in Bahrain in late June to encourage investment in the Palestinian areas as the first part of President Donald Trump's coming Middle East peace plan, the White House said on Sunday .

Trump has touted the coming plan as the"deal of the century", but Palestinian officials have rebuked the US effort, which they believe will be heavily biased in favour of Israel. "This will give hopefully the people in the region the potential to see what the economic opportunities could be if we can work out political issues that have held back the region for a long, long time," a senior Trump administration official said.

However, a second senior US official declined to say whether Israeli and Palestinian officials would take part.
