President Donald Trump's former Special Representative for International Negotiations Jason D. Greenblatt, who was instrumental in brokering the Abraham Accords in 2020 during the US leader's first term, took part in a panel i New York during the Israel Hayom Summit on Wednesday, warning that Iran and its allies ultimately want to take over the world.
Asked how to finish the war and whether regime change is realistic, he said, "It's essential."
"Without a change of the regime nothing happens, whether it's Hamas, Hizballah, the Houthis, or the Iranian regime," Greenblatt said, "They have a different desire, they live differently they want to take over the region and Europe and eventually, they want to take over America.
Greenblatt added, "We have to recognize it. We have to convince the Trump administration on that [the need to regime change]" Asked whether President Donald Trump's leadership will have the patience to do so, Greenblatt said, "It's a tricky question from the start, and even more so now," referring to the outcome of the midterm elections.
Greenblatt said, "President Trump should receive enormous recognition for what he has achieved, against all political odds. Everyone told him not to do it, and he paid a political price for it."
Greenblatt said, "I think President Trump is up against several walls, one of which is the new Congress., which is going to give him a lot of trouble."
On regime change, Greenblatt stressed, "He has always said that regime change is not in his goals,, but I think we need to convince him why it should be on his list, and that is going to take a lot of work."
