Arabic media are reporting a description of the role that Egypt would play in the Trump "deal of the century" for Middle East peace.
According to the reports, which Egypt approves of, under the plan a free trade zone between Gaza and Egypt would be established in the Sinai near the Rafah border. Also in that area a $500 million power plant would be built to provide electricity to Gaza.
Also, a joint Egyptian-Gaza seaport would be built, fully under Egyptian supervision but operated by Palestinians.
In addition, an airport in the Sinai would be built specifically for Gazans and the Gulf would fund a large industrial area on the border.
Previous plans suggested a land exchange with Egypt, and Egyptians always were against those. This plan, according to the Arab sources, is welcomed by Egypt.
Supposedly, Egypt is already allocating land to the projects and getting ready to move people out of the area for these to be built.
This all sounds very credible, and if true, it shows that Jared Kushner - who was widely derided as an inexperienced kid who was in way over his head in working on the most intractable problem on the world stage - has come up with more innovative ideas for peace than 50 years of professional diplomats have.
The reason is because the Trump administration is looking at this as a regional issue, not a "Palestinian/Israeli" issue. And the Arab world is needed to make any peace plan work.
