Donald Trump will appoint a real estate lawyer with minimal experience of foreign relations as his special representative for international negotiations, a role that involves overseeing negotiations between Israelis and the Palestinians.
Jason Greenblatt, who served as Trump’s top adviser on Israel policy during the campaign along with fellow lawyer David Friedman, will take on the role in the president-elect’s administration. Friedman has already been announced as Trump’s controversial pick for ambassador to Israel.
Greenblatt, whose expertise is in real estate law, did not have any significant foreign policy experience prior to Trump’s presidential campaign. He wrote a Washington Post editorial in July defending Trump from charges of antisemitism.
