Both Israelis and Palestinians “will be pleased from some parts” of the so-called Deal of the Century, Special U.S. envoy Jason Greenbatt said during a Friday interview with Sky News in Arabic.
He also said that both Israelis and Palestinians will “not be pleased with some of it,” Channel 12 news reported.
Another incorrect story. Our vision doesn’t provide for “baseball arbitration,” which wouldn’t work in this situation. There’s no avoiding direct negotiations between parties to reach a comprehensive deal. Anyone who thinks otherwise is mistaken. https://t.co/cNAJcCbQQY

He insisted on Twitter that both sides must agree to direct negotiations and later Tweeted that the American vision “does provide for ‘baseball arbitration'” a term which means that two parties to a disagreement submit an offer and a third party decides which of the two is best.
Greenbatt said that “we ask both Israelis and Palestinians go over the plan before they voice their concerns about it and not to reject it right off the bat.”
This is especially true for the Palestinian side, he said, as “they threaten not to take even a peek at a plan that can influence favorably and greatly on their future.”
He further said that “there is no reason to use the term ‘two state solution,'” the reason being that, “every side sees it differently.”
