U.S. Special Representative for International Negotiations Jason Greenblatt toured Israeli communities along the Gaza border on Sunday, accompanied by Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories Maj. Gen. Yoav Mordechai and Finance Minister Moshe Kahlon.
During the tour, Greenblatt was shown a number of recently discovered terror tunnels that cross from the Gaza Strip into Israeli territory.
Following the tour, Greenblatt posted on Facebook to criticize the Hamas terrorist organization that rules Gaza.
"Instead of helping the residents of Gaza, Hamas wastes its resources on missiles and tunnels," he wrote.
Mordechai also posted on Facebook after the tour, writing, "The difficult situation in Gaza is the result of Hamas' policies."
Kahlon posted on Twitter, focusing on Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas' recent statement that following U.S. President Donald Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as Israel's capital, the U.S. is no longer a viable mediator for Israeli-Palestinian negotiations.
"The U.S. is the honest and only mediator for any future settlement in the region," he wrote.
