U.S. President Donald Trump is taking a new approach in trying to get Israel and the Palestinians to sign a peace deal. He sent two negotiators with no international diplomatic experience to meet with both sides. The team that traveled to Jerusalem and the West Bank was led by Jared Kushner, Trump's son-in-law and senior aide. Also taking part was Jason Greenblatt, an assistant to the president in charge of international negotiations. Kushner, 36, is a former New York real estate businessman and newspaper publisher. Greenblatt also has a background in real estate. For many years, he also worked as the chief lawyer in the Trump Organization. In that position, he oversaw large business deals for the company.
