| The Trump administration is encouraging the Israeli government to adapt some of its policies toward the Palestinians in preparation for a new round of peace talks. Senior administration officials conducted four days of intensive talks with their Israeli counterparts focused on "concrete near-term measures to improve the overall climate in order to advance the prospects for a genuine and lasting peace," both governments said in a joint statement. Trump's special representative for international negotiations, Jason Greenblatt, led the US delegation, following a visit to the region last week. Yoav Horowitz, the prime minister's chief of staff, as well as Ron Dermer, Israel's ambassador to the US, led discussions from the Israeli side. "A principal focus of the discussions was specific measures that could have a meaningful impact on the economic environment in the West Bank and Gaza, allowing the Palestinians to more fully realize their economic potential," the White House said, noting Israel's embrace of the initiative.
