WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Trump administration officials Jared Kushner, Jason Greenblatt and Brian Hook are visiting in Morocco, Jordan and Israel this week to discuss the economic portion of Kushner’s Middle East peace plan, a White House official said on Tuesday.

The trip, which will last through Friday, comes before a workshop on the proposal planned for late June in Bahrain, the official said. The group plans to be in Israel on Thursday, according to the official.
