“My philosophy, in both business and in life, is that bringing people together and working to unite, rather than to divide, is the strongest path to success, ” Greenblatt said in a statement released by Trump’s campaign. “I truly believe that this approach is one that can yield results for the United States in matters all over the world. I look forward to serving on President-elect Trump’s team, and helping to achieve great outcomes for our country.”
In June Jason Greenblatt wrote an op ed on CNN’s website explaining why Donald Trump would be good for Israel saying, “Trump believes that, as the crossroads of the world’s religions, a unified Jerusalem must remain open to all worshipers, and the reality is that any threat to Israel’s rule over the city would imperil that free access. Recognizing Israel’s authority to designate Jerusalem as its capital is the surest way to ensure harmony and that the holy sites in the city remain open to all who wish to visit them.”
“A Trump administration will be a true friend to Israel. Jerusalem is Israel’s capital, and the undivided city is essential to the security of its all its citizens regardless of their religious faith.”
