Jason Greenblatt told Kan News: "If a Democrat is elected to the White House the plan may be in jeopardy because he will not adopt it."
President Trump's advisor and former Middle East envoy says that although he believes President Trump will be elected in November of this year, "if peace is not achieved in the Trump era and a Democrat president is elected to sit in the White House "there's a danger to the program presented today." He added "Instead of criticizing it, it's time to implement it."
Regarding allegations that this was a political intervention, he said, "There's never a proper time to present a solution to conflict. And in fact, in the previous two election campaigns we felt it was intervention, but the fact that Netanyahu and Gantz accepted the plan should remove the question about political intervention."
About work on the program, Greenblatt said: "For the past three years we listened to Israelis, Palestinians, and the region. Everyone sacrificed and everyone benefits from the plan."
On moderate reactions in the Arab world: "I'm not surprised, I think they represent a position that it's time to create another reality. You see a lot of change in Israeli-Arab relations in recent years, you see that ambassadors from Arab countries attended the launch. They represent a position that already wants to create another reality. It's time to march forward."
