Trump aide said to visit Israel next week for settlement talks

The Trump administration’s special representative for international negotiations will reportedly visit Israel in the coming days for talks with officials on West Bank settlements

Channel 2 says Jason Greenblatt will specifically discuss Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s promise to build a new settlement for the residents of the Amona outpost that was evacuated in January.

While Trump has indicated he will be significantly more tolerant of Israeli settlements than the Obama administration, the US president has recently changed his tone on the issue, and warned Israeli officials to hold off on additional building in the West Bank.
