US Negotiation Team Heads to Mideast to Push Peace Plan

(JNS) U.S. Middle East envoy Jason Greenblatt and White House special adviser Jared Kushner will arrive in Israel as part of a Middle East tour next week to discuss previously undisclosed details of a peace plan being promoted by U.S. President Donald Trump.

The delegation is also expected to visit Egypt and Saudi Arabia. The trip may be further expanded to include additional countries.

Ahead of the trip, U.S. Ambassador to Israel David Friedman traveled to Washington early in the week to help finalize the plan along with Kushner and Greenblatt.

While the Trump administration is viewed favorably among Israelis, due to America’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital, the moving of the U.S. embassy in May and the cancelation of the JCPOA Iran nuclear deal, the administration has lost credibility within the Palestinian Authority.

The American tour will also focus on easing the humanitarian situation in Gaza. Israel, Egypt and the international community provide relief aid to the region, yet Hamas, which governs Gaza, often misappropriates funds and supplies for terror activity. During recent protests, terrorists similarly attacked infrastructure that provides Gazans with basic resources, including electricity and natural gas.
