(JTA) \u2013 Negotiations between Israel and the United States on limiting building in the settlements reportedly has been suspended after representatives of the two countries failed to reach an agreement. Jason Greenblatt, Trump\u2019s international envoy, has traveled in recent weeks to the Middle East for meetings with Israeli and Palestinian leaders. Representatives of the Netanyahu government, the prime minister\u2019s chief of staff, Yoav Horowitz, and Israel\u2019s U.S. ambassador,\u00a0Ron Dermer, met late last month with Greenblatt in Washington, D.C., to follow up on his meetings with Netanyahu in Israel earlier in the month. Israel Radio reported Sunday that the discussions between the Israeli envoys and Greenblatt, who is an Orthodox Jew, had been suspended due to a lack of progress.<\/p>\n

News of the suspension came after Israel\u2019s security cabinet on March 30 approved the first new settlement in decades for families evicted from the razed West Bank outpost of Amona, followed by Netanyahu saying at the same meeting that any future West Bank construction would be limited to existing settlement boundaries or adjacent to them, and that Israel will prevent the construction of any new illegal outposts.<\/p>\n

On March 30, Greenblatt held meetings with Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas and the foreign ministers of Qatar and Egypt on the sidelines of the Arab League summit in Jordan. Abbas, Jordan\u2019s King Abdullah II and Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah el-Sisi also reportedly huddled to coordinate their positions ahead of their meetings with Trump at the White House in coming weeks. According to anonymously sourced Israeli media reports, Greenblatt told Netanyahu during talks in Israel earlier this month that Trump wanted substantial restriction on settlement construction. Netanyahu reportedly expressed reservations about the proposal, particularly an official moratorium on construction outside the major settlements, mainly because of anticipated opposition from within his right-wing government.\u00a0The Prime Minister\u2019s Office denied the reports.<\/p>\n
