Israel pushes back on Trump’s picks for executives on Gaza ‘Board of Peace’
Israel has recently expressed strong opposition to the appointment of two individuals chosen by former U.S. President Donald Trump to serve as executives on the Gaza ‘Board of Peace.’ The move comes as part of efforts to establish and oversee development projects in the Gaza Strip.
The appointees in question, David Friedman and Jason Greenblatt, both served in the Trump administration and were involved in crafting the former president’s Middle East peace plan. Friedman previously served as the U.S. ambassador to Israel, while Greenblatt was a special representative for international negotiations.
Israeli officials have raised concerns about the suitability of these individuals for the roles, citing their close ties to the Trump administration and their perceived pro-Israel bias. They argue that the appointments could compromise the perceived neutrality and effectiveness of the ‘Board of Peace.’
In response, the United States has defended its picks, emphasizing the appointees’ experience and commitment to promoting peace and stability in the region. The U.S. State Department has reaffirmed its support for both Friedman and Greenblatt, highlighting their track record in diplomatic efforts related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The situation remains tense as Israel continues to push back on the appointments, raising questions about the future direction of the ‘Board of Peace’ and its ability to garner support and cooperation from all stakeholders involved in the Gaza development projects.
