Biden Administration Veteran Joins Trump's Council

A former senior official from the Biden administration, Shelly Greenspan, has joined former President Council, where she will lead foreign affairs and outreach to Congress and Middle East experts. Greenspan previously served on the National Security Council during Biden's presidency, acting as a liaison to the American Jewish community and managing global partnerships. Her move signals a potential shift in support for Trump's Middle East initiatives, which had previously stalled due to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's reluctance to take action in Gaza before the October 27 elections.

In recent months, prominent Democrats, including former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, have expressed support for Trump's plan, with Clinton calling it the most practical and viable proposal. They emphasized her unique qualifications to foster the congressional support essential for their work.

Greenspan herself commented that in her last State Department role, she worked to advance Trump's vision for peace and prosperity in the Middle East. She noted that she witnessed how Trump's "20-point plan" could yield tangible results for the residents of Gaza and Israel, expressing her eagerness to continue this work with the council.
