The Board of Peace, an entity established under the Trump administration, has appointed Shelley Greenspan to spearhead its outreach efforts toward Congress and Washington-based think tanks. Greenspan previously served as the Jewish community liaison in the Biden administration, a background that the Board of Peace is leveraging to bridge political divides.

According to reports, the primary objective of this appointment is to secure broader bipartisan backing for President Trump’s Gaza peace plan. The administration is reportedly preparing to intensify its efforts regarding this plan following the midterm elections and the anticipated formation of a new Israeli government.

While the Board of Peace is positioning this move as a strategic effort to ensure the plan's viability, the success of the initiative remains contingent on the political composition of the next Congress. Should Democrats gain control of either the House or the Senate, the administration’s ability to move forward with its foreign policy agenda will depend heavily on its capacity to cultivate cross-party cooperation. The appointment of a former Democratic staffer is viewed by observers as a calculated step to mitigate potential partisan friction during these legislative negotiations.
