Speaking before the Jerusalem Conference of Israeli and Western Jewish businessmen, Netanyahu attempted to sell them his plan to encourage moderation among the Palestinians by assisting their economic progress. Never mind that the PA boasts the highest economic growth-rate of all non oil-producing Arab entities anyway.
At the same time, Netanyahu has promised to strive for peace with the Palestinians. Though he imagines that words don’t hurt, the US Administration will catch him by his words, as they did during his previous term, when Netanyahu was forced to abandon Hebron.
Bibi is not bothered by the basic incompatibility of peace with the PA and Jewish investments there. One can easily imagine the safety level of Jewish investments in an independent Palestine.
