Greenblatt Prefers to Call Settlements "Neighborhoods and Cities"
(Times of Israel) Jacob Magid - U.S. Special Representative for International Negotiations Jason Greenblatt told the Israel Hayom Forum for U.S.-Israel Relations in Jerusalem Thursday that in brokering a peace deal between Israelis and Palestinians, "We might get there if people stop pretending settlements, or what I prefer to call 'neighborhoods and cities,' are the reason for the lack of peace." He added: "It is a shame that the Palestinian Authority chose not to attend [the Bahrain economic workshop] and tried to convince others not to attend. They distorted our message and attempted to undermine our progress but they did not succeed."
