Jason Greenblatt, President Donald Trump's special envoy for the Middle East, plans to resign once the long-delayed US peace plan for the Israelis and the Palestinians that he has been working on is released, officials said on Thursday, Al Jazeera reports.
Greenblatt, who had intended to stay only two years when he began working at the White House in early 2017, is eager to return to his wife and six children who stayed behind at their home in New Jersey, the officials said.
Greenblatt and White House senior adviser Jared Kushner, as well as the US ambassador to Israel, David Friedman, have led the effort to develop a peace plan for Israel and the Palestinians and have spent the entire Trump presidency working on the project.
