Former Middle East envoy under the Trump administration Jason Greenblatt, together with his wife, psychiatrist Naomi Greenblatt, and their six children donated a mini-lance (mini-ambulance) emergency response vehicle to United Hatzalah of Israel. It will be specifically driven by an Arab volunteer and deployed in eastern neighborhoods of Jerusalem at the request of the Greenblatt family.
“It deeply resonates with me to know that by donating a mini-lance vehicle, I’m empowering an Arab volunteer to save lives in Jerusalem’s Arab neighborhoods, including right in her own community,” he said. “To me, the essence of Israel lies in its vibrant tapestry of diversity, and this ethos is beautifully reflected in the heart of United Hatzalah’s operations.”
Greenblatt, an Orthodox Jew, has long been dedicated to fostering positive change throughout the Middle East, where he maintains deep ties to the leadership and business communities. Currently, he is senior director of Arab-Israel Diplomacy for the Jerusalem Center of Public Affairs.
The donated vehicle will be operated by a female Arab volunteer EMT. The initiative not only delivers a crucial resource to the community but serves as a symbol of unity and empowerment.
It aligns with the Greenblatt family’s broader mission to contribute positively to the well-being of communities, fostering unity and understanding in the process, with an extensive focus on Israel and its Arab neighbors.
