The Trump administration official responsible for designing a peace plan between Israel and the Palestinians is leaving the White House.

At the United Nations Security Council meeting in New York on July 23, 2019, Greenblatt said, "There is no international consensus about Jerusalem. And, no international consensus or interpretation of international law will persuade the United States or Israel that a city in which Jews have lived and worshipped for nearly 3,000 years and has been the capital of the Jewish State for 70 years, is not—today and forever —the capital of Israel."
