Trump envoys tout ‘cordial’ meeting with Benny Gantz
US President Donald Trump’s envoys to Israel, Ambassador David Friedman and US Special Representative Jason Greenblatt, generally viewed as closely identified with Likud’s Benjamin Netanyahu, seem keen to show their bipartisan bona fides, at least when it comes to Israeli politics.
The US embassy releases a photo of the two meeting a short time ago with Blue and White leader, and possibly Israel’s next prime minister, Benny Gantz.
The photo accompanies a brief statement saying the three men “had a cordial discussion on various topics, including the importance of the US-Israel relationship, security challenges within the region and efforts to promote peace.”
