Yet another resignation from Trump's administration as US Middle East envoy Jason Greenblatt calls it quits
Jason Greenblatt attends the Champions of Jewish Values International Awards gala at Carnegie Hall on Thursday, March 28, 2019, in New York.
Greenblatt had worked closely with Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law and senior adviser, on developing the peace plan. Greenblatt had advocated for the decisions to relocate the US Embassy to Jerusalem and to recognise Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights, moves that drew anger and skepticism from Palestinians and Arab nations. He had also led the administration's push to cut US funding for the United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees, arguing before the world body that the UN Relief and Works Agency is corrupt, encourages anti-Israel sentiment and is prolonging the conflict.
Kushner praised Greenblatt and said his "work has helped develop the relationships between Israel and its neighbours as he is trusted and respected by all of the leaders throughout the region." Apart from securing tacit support from some Gulf Arab states, the team's only visible accomplishment has been the release of a $50 billion economic proposal for the West Bank, Gaza and Palestinian communities in Egypt, Jordan and Lebanon.
"It's the end of the Administration's Middle East Tweet Process," joked former US diplomat Robert Danin, who spent 20 years working on Mideast issues and has been critical of Trump's approach to the region.
