Greenblatt meets with Yesha Council - And Not a word from Greenblatt or MSM

As reported in the AlgemeinerUS President Donald Trump’s envoy for Mideast negotiations, Jason Dov Greenblatt, met with Israeli settler leaders on Thursday in Jerusalem, in what the Hebrew news site nrg reported was a historic “first.”

Jason Greenblatt and the President
According to the report, the meeting between Greenblatt and Samaria Regional Council head Yossi Dagan and Efrat Mayor Oded Revivi — who is also the chief foreign envoy of the Yesha Council — was unusual, as American governments have refrained from public encounters with settler leaders in the past, due to the potentially controversial way in which such rendezvous would be perceived.
Though a spokesman for Revivi told The Algemeiner the content of the closed-door meeting could not be revealed, Dagan told nrg that there was a positive atmosphere.
I guess after him meeting with whose who in the PLO, that is a good thing...
According to Samaria Regional Council head Yossi Dagan “The conversation was interesting and pleasant, we greatly respect Trump and the new administration, and are happy that it is sympathetic and open to dialogue. [But] it is important for me to emphasize that our requests and demands are first and foremost from our own government and its ministers: that there be a meaningful change [in policy] and a stop to the decrees that have infringed on the fundamental human rights of half a million citizens in Judea and Samaria [the West Bank]. We demand a halt to the construction freeze, and to be able to build without hindrance.”

Being that reports have claimed Greenblatt offered a settlement to bring Abbas to the negotiation table - anything is possible... In other words, prepare for the worse - and hope for the best.
