Greenblatt says people should stop calling West Bank communities ‘settlements’
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUS President Donald Trump’s former Middle East envoy Jason Greenblatt says he opposes the use of the term “settlements” to describe Israeli communities in the West Bank.
“I don’t use those terms, settlements. I use the terms cities and towns, because that’s really what they are,” Greenblatt says during an interview with Israel’s Channel 13.
“The word ‘settlements’ has become a negative word over the decades, and I think people should start calling them what they are.”
