There is now more doubt about its future with the administration saying Jason Greenblatt will leave in the coming weeks.

Palestinians have already rejected the plan, saying it'll boost ties between the U.S. and Israel.

格林布拉特也激怒了巴勒斯坦的多位领导人,因为他在推动将美国大使馆搬到耶路撒冷一事,而且她也认可以色列对戈兰高地的主权。

巴勒斯坦总统马哈茂德·阿巴斯的发言人表示,格林布拉特破坏了美国的信誉,也破坏了和平进程。
