"We put out a peace plan that was described as a 'serious initiative,' Greenblatt wrote, mentioning that the plan was appreciated by numerous countries including some Arab countries.

"We created the Abraham Accords," he added. "We recognized 'settlements' aren't the reason there's no peace. The Biden administration should not fall into same old traps!"
