JASON GREENBLATT WILL BE AT THE JERUSALEM POST ANNUAL CONFERENCE. REGISTER.Despite the difficulties, Michael Oren, the former MK and Israel’s former ambassador to the US, who as a deputy minister in the Prime Minister’s Office over the over the past two years has been in contact with the Trump Mideast team, praised Greenblatt for his efforts, saying he has “done an enormous job moving this process along.”Oren added that Greenblatt is respected by both Israel and the Arab states.

The Kushner family has reportedly financially backed Pinto’s Chevrat Pinto study center in Manhattan.Honored to share an Iftar this evening with His Majesty King Mohammed VI, Crown Prince Moulay Hassan, FM Nasser Bourita & Jared Kushner. Thank you to His Majesty for a special evening and for sharing your wisdom. Morocco is an important friend & ally of the United States
