Trump envoy says only direct talks can solve Israeli-Palestinian conflict 0 SHARES Share it! Share TweetBy Agence France-PressePresident Donald Trump’s Middle East envoy Jason Greenblatt told the United Nations Security Council Tuesday that an “international consensus” cannot solve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, only direct talks between the two. “A comprehensive and lasting peace will not be created by fiat of international law or by these heavily wordsmithed, unclear resolutions,” Greenblatt added. Greenblatt said at Tuesday’s Security Council meeting that Trump hoped to take a decision soon on when to release his administration’s plan for peace between Israel and the Palestinians. “The vision for peace that we plan to present will not be ambiguous, unlike many resolutions that have passed in this chamber,” he said.
