Update: this action, now closed, ran in August 2018.
President Trump is again sending his two Middle East envoys, Jared Kushner and Jason Greenblatt, together with
Deputy National Security Adviser Dina Powell, to the region.
The three will meet with Israeli and Palestinian leaders to explore prospects for resuming peace talks.
In past meetings, Trump and his aides reportedly criticized Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas and his government
for hate speech and incitement. He also asked Prime Minister Netanyahu to “hold back on settlements,” but seems to
have done very little to get Netanyahu to restrain West Bank settlement activity and other anti-peace actions.
Indeed, Netanyahu and his right-wing coalition have scoffed at Trump’s call and plowed ahead with the settlement
enterprise.
If the Trump Administration is serious about facilitating peace, it must call out Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
and his government for their share in hindering peace efforts.
