Opposition leader Isaac Herzog says he has presented US special envoy Jason Greenblatt with plans for a “bold regional process” and, following a meeting with Greenblatt in Jerusalem, is “impressed by the deep commitment” of President Donald Trump to peace efforts.
Writing on Facebook after the meeting, Herzog say he commended Greenblatt on his “endeavors to promote peace.”

“I am impressed by the deep commitment of the President, as expressed by his envoy in our meeting, towards reaching peace between Israel and the Palestinians, and the extent of Mr Greenblatt’s contacts with all parties, including his direct interaction with citizens on both sides,” Herzog writes.
“I described to Mr. Greenblatt my efforts in the last 12 months to initiate a bold regional process, and outlined to him my amended plan on how to move forward,” he adds.
