Jason Greenblatt the US Special Representative for International Negotiations met on Sunday evening with Israel’s prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“Honored to meet with prime minister Netanyahu this evening. Discussed important topics including the situation in Gaza and regional developments” tweeted Greenblatt after the meeting.
Greenblatt also prayed at the Western Wall in occupied Jerusalem with US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman.
Last week it was announced that Greenblatt would travel to Israel this week to meet with senior Israeli officials and lay the groundwork for the Trump administration’s rollout of the framework for a Middle East final status agreement dubbed the “Deal of the Century”.
The Palestinian Authority (PA) has rejected US attempts to restart peace talks with Israel and has been boycotting the US ever since Trump’s recognition of Jerusalem as Israel’s capital last December.
