In first since the Bahrain conference, a Palestinian poll found overwhelming distrust of Washington.

Nine in ten Palestinians do not believe or trust the US government's claim that its recently unveiled economic plan aims to improve their economic wellbeing, a poll published on Wednesday found.

President Donald Trump's administration presented the economic part of its Israeli-Palestinian peace proposal, dubbed "Peace to Prosperity," in the Bahraini capital of Manama on June 25-6.

But the poll carried out by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research and the first since the Manama conference, found overwhelming distrust of Washington.

The Palestinians refused to participate in the conference, accusing the US of systematic pro-Israel bias, and this ultimately contributed to the decision not to invite any Israeli or Palestinian official, but businesspeople from both sides did attend.

Ninety percent of the 1,200 people polled said they did not believe or trust Washington's claim that the Bahrain meetings aimed to improve Palestinians' economic conditions.

Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser Jared Kushner, who is leading the peace plan, said he is seeking to reach out to ordinary Palestinians, bypassing their leaders.

But the survey also found that 79% of the Palestinian population supported their leaders' boycott of the conference, while just 15% were opposed to that position.

More than three quarters said the US plan would not bring prosperity to the Palestinian economy, and some 75% of Palestinians wanted their leaders to outright reject the US plan.
