Quartet for Mideast peace meets for first time since Trump’s election
Ambassadors from the US, Russia, the European Union and the United Nations — the so-called Middle East Quartet — meet in Jerusalem “to discuss current efforts to advance Middle East peace, as well as the deteriorating situation in Gaza,” according to a joint statement from the envoys.
US President Donald Trump peace envoy Jason Greenblatt, currently visiting Israel, represents the US.
“The Envoys expressed serious concern over the worsening humanitarian situation in Gaza and discussed current efforts to resolve the crisis,” the statement says.
The meeting is the first for the Quartet since Trump’s election last November.
