US Undersecretary of State Stuart Eizenstat said yesterday in statements to the Washington Institute for Near East Policy that a "top priority" in US peace efforts focuses on achieving economic benefits related to the peace process, especially for Jordan and the Palestinian self-rule areas. "Both signed peace agreements with Israel, and neither has yet seen an economic peace dividend. This lack of a peace dividend, in turn, has undercut support for the peace process," Eizenstat said.
