Also like Trump, Greenblatt believes Israeli-Palestinian negotiations can be handled similarly to Trumpâs real estate negotiations, with money as a main incentive.
âIf you take out the emotional part of it and the historical part of it, it is a business transaction. Land is going to be negotiated, water rights are going to be negotiated, security issues are going to be negotiated,â Greenblatt said. âSo you need to say to them, âListen, we want to discuss these two issues in this quarter, and then youâll get your check, and these two issues in this quarter, and then youâll get your check. At the end of the day you want to resolve all the issues. I think it isnât a good idea to do partial negotiations and then hope for the best.â

On Syria, Greenblatt said the United States should create safe havens for civilians fleeing the war, possibly by âborrowing landâ from nearby Turkey and Jordan. On ISIS, he says the U.S. should marshal a worldwide coalition to address the problem.
