WASHINGTON D.C.: Jason Greenblatt, a former US special envoy to Israel and the Arab world during the presidency of Donald Trump, has joined think tank Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs as senior director for Arab-Israel diplomacy, it was announced on Monday.
A highly-respected diplomat in the US and the Middle East, Greenblatt was a member of the team that brokered the Abraham Accords peace deal between Israel and the UAE, Bahrain, Morocco and Sudan.
JCPA president Dan Diker said he was “honored” to welcome Greenblatt to the organization.
“Jason brings with him a wealth of experience and close relations with Arab states across the region including some without normalization agreements with Israel,” he said.
Greenblatt said he was “proud” to be joining and also posted on Twitter to say he was excited to join theJCPA, calling it a “do tank,” in addition to a think tank.
“Aside from producing top quality research and strategic policy initiatives, JCPA now serves as a convener and communications hub for policy, diplomacy and communications connecting the Arab world, Africa, Israel and the West,” he said.
