From US peace envoy denies Trump offered Palestinians $5 b to resume talks with Israel
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleUS Middle East envoy Jason Greenblatt denies a report by Israeli media outlet Globes that claimed the Trump administration offered the Palestinian Authority $5 billion to resume negotiations with Israel.
“When the peace plan is released, if the PA is serious about peace & wants to improve Palestinian lives, the PA should want to review the plan & engage,” Greenblatt tweets. “It is an absurd idea to pay $5b for a party to “return to the negotiating table.” How would that accomplish peace??”
Palestinians have blackballed US peace efforts for months and are largely boycotting the administration amid anger over Washington’s decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s capital.
