Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has reportedly delayed a meeting of a settlement planning committee at the request of the US administration, whose envoy for Middle East peace is set to visit the region this week to meet with Israeli and Palestinian leaders, according to The Times of Israel.
During a security cabinet meeting on Sunday, Netanyahu told ministers the meeting of the Civil Administration Planning Committee would be put off for another week or two in order to avoid friction with the White House during Jason Greenblatt’s visit.
Greenblatt’s trip comes after US President Donald Trump met with both Netanyahu and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas on the sidelines of the United Nations General Assembly.
The White House on Sunday said his visit is meant to “continue the peace track” and is “part of the administration’s quiet, steady discussions towards peace.”
