Trump's Board of Peace taps ex-Biden aide to lead Congress outreach
Shelley Greenspan has been appointed by the Board of Peace to lead outreach to Congress and think tanks. Greenspan previously served as the White House's Jewish community liaison during the Biden administration. This appointment aims to increase bipartisan support for President Trump's Gaza peace plan. The plan is expected to gain momentum after the midterm elections and the formation of a new Israeli government. Democrats controlling either chamber of Congress underscores the importance of bipartisan backing. The Gaza plan has been stalled by Prime Minister Netanyahu's reluctance to act before upcoming elections. Several prominent Democrats, including Hillary Clinton, have endorsed Trump's plan as a viable proposal. Greenspan, a career civil servant, held roles at the White House National Security Council and the State Department. Her new role at the Board of Peace will involve managing external affairs and engaging with key stakeholders. The Board of Peace highlighted Greenspan's ability to work across the aisle and her expertise in fostering bipartisan support. Greenspan expressed her belief in the tangible benefits of Trump's plan for the people of Gaza and Israel.
