The brief

Trump’s Board of Peace has hired a former Biden aide for a role connected to outreach, with headlines identifying Congress and Gaza as its focus. The Times of Israel and Axios say the aide will lead outreach to Congress; The Jerusalem Post describes the position as Gaza outreach.

Jewish Insider identifies the appointee as Greenspan and reports that she started in the role on Monday. Its account says a source familiar with the matter confirmed her start. The available account does not give Greenspan’s first name or specify a calendar date for her first day. The headlines characterize Greenspan’s background in different terms.

The Times of Israel calls her Biden’s Jewish community liaison, while The Jerusalem Post and Axios describe her as a Biden aide. The Times of Israel and Axios connect the job to Congress; the Jerusalem Post emphasizes Gaza. Greenspan said she had seen how the President’s 20-Point Plan could deliver for the peoples of Gaza and Israel.

She also said she looked forward to continuing that work with the Board. Her remarks present the appointment as a continuation of work related to the plan, but do not set out specific duties or describe how the Congress and Gaza outreach would be divided.

The Board of Peace is identified in the headlines as President Trump’s institution, and the appointment places a former Biden aide in a role tied to its outreach. The account does not detail the aide’s prior work, explain the selection process, name the members of the Board, or state whether Congress or any other body has taken action in response.

The immediate documented next step is Greenspan’s work in the new role. Her quoted statement signals that she intends to continue work with the Board on the 20-Point Plan; it does not provide a timetable, identify particular lawmakers or organizations she will contact, or describe any subsequent decisions.

Why it matters

How we got here

The Trump administration’s 20-Point Plan for Gaza and Israel is the immediate diplomatic backdrop to the Board of Peace role. The conflict the plan addresses intensified after Hamas-led fighters attacked Israel on October 7, 2023, killing civilians and taking hostages; Hamas described its attack as a response to Israeli policies and actions affecting Palestinians.

The conditions in Gaza predated October 2023. Israel captured Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem during the June 1967 war; after the 2005 Israeli disengagement, Israel retained control over most access to Gaza, while Egypt controlled the Rafah crossing. Hamas won the 2006 Palestinian legislative election and took control of Gaza in June 2007 after fighting with Fatah.
